First of all, I'm hoping I'm writting in the right place.

I would like to know the title of a game that I used to play in arcades. It was a game containing multiple puzzle/reflex games. One of them was about 2 ninjas switching the position in the woods; after a while they disappeared and you had to guess the last position of one of them (they did have different colors). From time to time there was a bonus stage, where you have to collect balloons (as far as I can remember).

In another stage, some digits were shown and you had to choose the number composed by the digits being shown.

I don't remember more games right now, but the game must be from the early 90's (maybe end 80's). I think the game was japanese.

The last information I can provide, was that the 'bad guy' in the game was a robot or a fat guy who did run away and you were chasing him by doing the minigames.

However, thanks for the hopefully coming help.

Well, I found it finally. The name was Puzzle & Action: Ichidant-R.

It was ported to Mega Drive in Japan, and was included on the disc with Bonanza Bros on PS2 in the Sega Ages series. That version is also on the US compilation Sega Arcade Classics on PS2.

Oh my God, watching Game Center CX has finally paid off! I knew exactly which game you were writing about just from your description and having recently watched the episode of Game Center CX where Arino-kacho takes on Tant-R for the Sega Mega Drive!

Remember, if you want to pick up the second game in the series, it is called Puzzle & Action: Ichidant-R (http://www.mobygames.com/game/puzzle-action-ichidant-r); if you want the first game in the series, it is Puzzle & Action: Tant-R (http://www.mobygames.com/game/puzzle-action-tant-r). Ichidant-R was released for the Arcade and Genesis/Mega Drive, while Tant-R was released for the Arcade, Game Gear, Genesis/Mega Drive, and Wii.

Also, this question belongs in Arcade Alley, so I'm moving it to there.
