Jaleco leaves game industry

Sadly, the financial crisis is also seriously affecting game publishers around the world. Last month, Jaleco Holding sold its game department to the online gaming company Game Yarou. According to wikipedia, Jaleco Holding will remain active in real estate and securities business. On MSX, Jaleco released such games as Exerion, Saint Runner, Snake Runner and Top Roller.

Poke -1,170, I guess you are Brazilian...

The name of this game is Ninja Jajamaru Kun.

Here's the list of Jaleco games for MSX...

Exerion, Formation Z, Ninja Jajamaru Kun, Ninjakun Majyo no Bouken, Pipi, Top Roller, City Connection, Syougun and Strange Loop.

And Jaleco also published games for MSX that were not made by them... Gun Fright, Knight Lore, Night Shade, Alien 8 and Break In.

(Did I forget anyone?)

Ninja Jajamaru Kun is a true classic IMHO! _O_

AFAIK it was known as "Ninja 2" in NL as well.
