we should open threads for any PCE games, where we can discuss about such small details just like the disputed opinions of this bird. would be funny, wouldn't it?

Haha, what the heck?  I wish I had noticed this earlier.  JJ & Jeff is one of those games that looks like it should be hilariously kitsch (especially the JP version) but it's just HORRIBLE, it plays like a turd, it visually looks like a turd, and it's too crap to even be funny.  On top of which, that "hidden key" nonsense is some of the worst game design ever.  It just makes a boring game even more monotonous.  And it's pretty pathetic when a game that tries to be funny ends up boring.

it's called "Kato Chan - Ken Chan" named after the TV-show of two legendary comedians. "chan" is the usual japanese name-suffix for mr. or ms. in circles of friend/family.

Your avatar is horrible. J.J. and Jeff is one of the best games ever made.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

Kato and Ken Chan to me has more in common to a Nintendo Mario game.. it can be incredibly fast and frustrating especially timing those jumps and jumping on enemies to knock them out.. I used to own this game years ago but never could get past certain levels because of the pixel perfect jumping required (especially considering when you move or land from a jump you slide a lil' just like mario does when you move the direction to the opposite side.

Anyway... playing this on emulation so you can see for yourself.. sound goes out of sync half way but I can't be bothered to fix it for this lil' vid.
