1999: Hore, Mita koto ka! Seikimatsu Overview
1999 - Hore Mitakotoka! Seikimatsu is a board game adaptation for the NES where players control Japanese high school students. These characters, represented by small cars, navigate a city map after an encounter with a pink alien who warns of an extraordinary event at the century's end.
Gameplay involves drawing cards to determine movement across squares, each triggering different life events. Players must manage their finances and prepare for the future, competing against others in a manner similar to Monopoly. The events range from accidents and romantic meetings to job promotions, with some offering interactive choices like gambling in a casino mini-game.
One or two players can participate, each guiding a student through this simulated life. The core loop combines strategic resource management with the random elements of card-drawn movement and event outcomes.
