Bokosuka Wars was an RPG/Strategy game for the MSX and Nintendo Famicom created by ASCII Entertainment, and released in Japan on December 14, 1985.
[edit] Plot
King Suren's forces have been captured and turned into trees and rocks by King Ogereth. King Suren has to release his warriors from trees and rocks, and defeat King Ogereth's forces.
NOTE that the allies coming from trees and rocks only appear in the NES version. In the MSX version you start with the complete army and may gain some extra knights by freeing them from prison cells, not from trees or rocks. There are no soldiers turned into objects in the MSX version.
[edit] Gameplay
Pressing the D-Pad will move King Suren and his army in the desired direction. The player starts the game with only King Suren at 597m.
The player acquires more allies by bumping against trees, cactuses, rocks, and walls using King Suren. It will restore them to their normal form. Captive soldiers are freed using a knight to break the gates in front of them.
Throughout the world of Bokosuka there are obstacles only certain characters can pass. The gates in which Soldiers are locked can only be broken by Knights. Death tiles will kill all characters except Soldiers who will remove them when they step on them. The walls at 500m, 400m, 300m, and 200m can only be broken by King Suren.
When one unit collides with another, a battle takes place. The tile will change to an icon of crossed swords and a then a B (for battle).
The victory is automatically calculated by the computer based on the difference between the offensive strengths of the units.
If King Suren dies, the game ends, announcing "WOW! YOU LOSE!".
When King Suren succeeds in defeating King Ogreth, the game ends with "BRAVO! YOU WIN!"
