PC Engine/Famicom/Super Famicom reviews & manuals

[Dire 51]

It's a neat little game, but like most of Irem's titles, it's incredibly hard. I still can't pass stage 2.

Don Warudorodo, huh?
I wonder if that's supposed do be some kind of joke. Possibly a mixture of warui (bad) and El Dorado? Waldorado? Badorado? Possibly Don Quixote.

I wonder if that's supposed do be some kind of joke. Possibly a mixture of warui (bad) and El Dorado? Waldorado? Badorado? Possibly Don Quixote.

That's a really good point actually, I kept the original katakana spelling (ドン ワルドラド, Don Warudorado), and many sites translate his name as 'Don Waldorado'. But I also wondered myself if Hudson Soft didn't actually have a pun in there with Warui (in a way similar to Nintendo and Wario). I didn't have enough information to verify that, this is why I left it out. But you're totally right, I'm sure there's something going on there :)
