Released by Hudson Soft in 1986, Doraemon for the Famicom is a multi-genre adventure based on the legendary manga by Fujiko F. Fujio. Players take control of Doraemon across three distinct chapters—each featuring different gameplay styles like side-scrolling action and top-down shooting—to rescue five friends from a mysterious abduction. As the tenth best-selling Famicom game of 1986 with over 1.15 million copies sold, it combines the charm of the anime with varied and challenging gameplay mechanics that remain beloved by retro fans today.
