It's telling you how to access the Visual Debug screen.  At the title screen, press down, down, left, 2, 1, left, right.

Ah, ok. Thanks for that, sir.

What is it? Something you can use to watch the in game cinemas without having to play through the game again?

Played some New Adventure Island last night. Gonna play some more today. I also finally got my hands on a copy of Cratermaze, so I'm gonna play that a bit too. I've had the Doraemon version for a year or two now, but I wanted to get the version I can read! (Not that there's a ton of reading required, but still)
If anyone gets any leads on a "fair priced" copy of Coryoon, please lemme know!

Cratermaze isn't too bad. Played through it a few times over the years. I wouldn't attempt it in one sitting. Game can get a little repetitive if you play too long. Play through to the first boss, take a break, boss 2, break... Wash, rinse, repeat. Play a different game in between. It'll keep your interest a bit longer that way. At least that is how it is/was for me.

Agreed. Like I said, I already own the Japanese one and have played it quite a bit. I've never finished it but I love the game for a quick Bomberman-esque fix. I actually used to own Cratermaze but sold it along with everything else during the great "Abe's gone trout of his mind" sale-a-thon in '03.

I think it's cool that if you collect enough shovels, you can make a line of holes that spans the entire length of the stage. If you can survive long enough to collect that many.

Yes! It's also the reason I bought PCE Batman, as that game also shares a similar vibe.

For anyone that knows, besides Bomberman, Cratermaze (Doraemon: Meikyu Daisakusen), and Batman, are there any other similarly-themed action puzzlers on the PCE that I should check out? You know, with the maze/Pac-Man style game board? I have Chew Man Fu, although that one doesn't really fill the same role, for me.

I think you pretty much named them all on the PCE. Could be wrong though. Anyone like to confirm? I did a quick search on PCECP and those are all I could come up with.

Pyramid Plunder on the homebrew front is a must try
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Thank you! I'm gonna add that to my wish list. I don't have a working CD system yet, but I'm gonna keep that (and any other disc-based games) in mind for when I do.

I don't really count Boxyboy as it lacks the "action" aspect of those other titles (no enemies, power-ups, or random exploration necessary).

Yeah, I hear you. Boxyboyz and Tricky Kicks are more "puzzle"...

In a totally wacky way, Mesopotamia (Somer Assault) may appeal to you (it's a quirky game and not everyone's cup of tea)....however, it strays from the genre rules you like so much in Batman/Cratermaze. It's more like a "surreal" post-modern take on a Cratermaze.  .

Anyway, I wish there more games like Cratermaze/Batman and Somer Assault.
