Lost Word of JeNny

Lost Word of JeNny (ロストワード・オブ・ジェニー) is a map-based action game developed and published by Takara for the Famicom in 1987. The player must evade dogs, criminals, and other enemies as they explore a monster's house, a church yard, NASA, and even a store. As opposed to the overhead view employed by the map screen, the actual stages of the game are played in a side scrolling view. Lost Word is based around the popular-in-Japan Jenny doll. Jenny is a 10½ inch fashion doll produced by Takara since 1982. The doll was originally known as the Takara Barbie, but became "Jenny" in 1986 after Takara ended their licensing agreement with Mattel.
