![]() ![]() It seems to be essentially the same game, but stars the monk from Taito's Bonze Adventure. All games in the series were accompanied by a kind of "remix" version, in this case Kiki Kaikai: Kakurenbō(奇々怪界 覚蓮坊). Kiki Kaikai was on the Taitonostalgia 2 edition. In 2006, Bandai sold a series of standalone Plug & Play game devices-in-a-controller called Let's TV Play Classic. In Japan, there even was a standalone release for Windows PCs. Taito also released Kiki Kaikai for mobile phones, and it saw a release in Japan for PlayStation 2 in the first Taito Memories volume, and in Europe on Taito Legends 2 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Since the arcade original used a vertically oriented monitor, the screen size could not be perfectly recreated for this game, but is otherwise a faithful conversion. An improved version was published on the PC Engine in 1990. It was converted for the MSX2 in 1987, which features choppy scrolling and slightly downgraded graphics, although most of the gameplay is intact. The sound and graphics of the game are okay for the time the game was released. Unfortunately this applies to all of the other Kiki Kaikai games as well. Although it controls well, you can only fire in the direction that you're moving and can't strafe. After that, you must get to the boss' room and fight it. ![]() ![]() The object of each level is to collect a key that opens the passage way to the boss. Like many games of this kind, Sayo can only take one hit before falling over. There are also other power-ups, such as increased firepower, the ability to stop time, and explosive bombs to help Sayo in her journey. Sayo can fire at her enemies, but unique to Kiki Kaikai is Sayo's ability to repel enemy fire and bash enemies away with her oharai wand. She sets out equipped with her ofuda tags and oharai wand, her only weapons. Sayo-chan is a young miko (priestess) who is out to rescue the gods of fortune from a band of evil demons. For being so cutesy, they are surprisingly fast-paced and often quite difficult. Kiki Kaikai (which means "Mysterious Ghost World") is a top-down shooter in the vein of Capcom's Commando, except with a Japanese mythological theme. Taito - the company behind Darius, Power Blade, and Bubble Bobble, released Kiki Kaikai in 1986. ![]()
