Attacker

Attacker is a short doujin adventure game for the PC-88. You explore different areas, and talk to people in order to solve a mystery.

Music Mode#

Hold the m key on startup.

Unused Character#

While you can only select between four characters, there is an unused 5th character in the game, named 伊尻 政次 (Masaji Ijiri). He appears to be a salaryman, and has completely different stats from the rest of the characters. Only his downward-facing sprite (pictured) is finished - walking in any of the other three directions uses a female character's sprites. Attempting to open the inventory by pressing ENTER will result in glitched text being displayed across the screen, as the code for him is incomplete.
