"Ding Dong" what game? Old mag advertisment

Retro Game Club podcast mentioned an ad from "Game Shock" in the EGM 50th issue listing a game called "Ding Dong". I thought it'd be a fun thread to see what forum members guesses are of what it could be.

Based on the other games listed and the pricing, I'm assuming it's a HuCard released in '93. My guess it's a Momotarou game that the importers could not translate.

Why not Hani in the Sky or one of the other iterations of Hani?

I'm more interested in seeing Super R-Type for PC Engine. :P

I'm sure that no one who ordered it from Game Shock was disappointed with their purchase.

I wonder if they advertised Kiki KaiKai as "Pocky and Rocky"?
