{{nihongo|'''Touhouken Bunroku'''|東方見文録}} is an [[adventure]] game developed for the [[Famicom]] and published in Japan by [[Natsume]] towards the end of [[1988]]. It is the first title ever published independently by Natsume, who beforehand was a development house for [[Konami]]. The title of the game is a play on {{nihongo|''Touhou Kenbun Roku''|東方見聞録||The Travels of Marco Polo}} such that it is pronounced entirely the same as the novelization of Marco Polo's journeys to the east, but alters the fourth character. In the context of the game, Touhouken Bunroku is the name of the protagonist, with Touhouken being the surname and Bunroku the given name. | |||
The game is a command selection adventure game, common at the time, which allows you to switch characters throughout the story. The package of the game bills it as a "New wave psychedelic adventure" and the story of the game is considered quite bizarre, in which fourth year university student Bunroku is transported back in time to the year 1275 where he encounters Marco Polo, and generally interferes with Polo's efforts to establish trade between Asia and Europe. The game is intended to be comedic and even parodies several game design elements which were common at the time. It has never been released outside of Japan or translated from the original Japanese. | |||
