- There's a PlayStation/Saturn game called "NOON - New Type Action Game" it's really an action/puzzle game
- https://psxdatacenter.com/games/J/N/SLPM-86063.html
- Copyright is stated as 1996 Microcabin, 1993 Kouji Oono

Looking into this, the Saturn version has a text file with the name of the earlier 1993 game that NOON is based on:
Quote:
PC-9801「カラー君だ!」 (C)1993 大野 功二

https://twitter.com/gingerbeardman/stat ... 4993746945

Translation is "It's Color-kun!" or "It's Mr Color!"

Developer is 大野 功二, Kouji Oono, Kōji Ōno, Koji Ono, Koji Ohno

I can't find anything about this game, though I did find an adventure game in I/O from 1991,1992 called カラー君 but it's not the same game: https://twitter.com/gingerbeardman/stat ... 6720540674

There are other doujin/homebrew games by "K. Ono" in the PC-98 pack, but not this one.

Quote:
[Doujin & Homebrew]/K. Ono/
[Doujin & Homebrew]/K. Ono/K. Ono (Kyou kara Anata mo Pachinkoyasan v2.0) [FD].zip
[Doujin & Homebrew]/K. Ono/K. Ono (Kyou kara Anata mo Pachinkoyasan v3.1) [FD].zip
[Doujin & Homebrew]/K. Ono/K. Ono (Solitaire) [FD].zip


Any ideas?

thanks!

I found it in the contents list of I/O issue 1993/7 as:

カラー君だぁ!by COUNTRY FOX
https://twitter.com/gingerbeardman/stat ... 0281283584

And also an earlier game in the series that has gameplay perhaps more reminiscent of NOON:

Are there full issues of I/O anywhere? Or related software collections?

I managed to get the game from a friendly twitter user.

It is the same game mechanic as NOON.

Mystery solved!

Modern solutions and all that. Maybe I should do something along those veins... there's a lot of doujin PC98 stuff out there I've never even seen a trace on P2P, but people post pictures on twitter of it.

Any chance we could get a copy from you?
