Attention: The Best Product

*Oh my god, an angel appeared to me in a dream at work today (er, last night I mean) and showed me the best item I've seen in a week:

Screw-Style, the Computer Adventure Game!!

Yep, it looks like someone went and turned Yoshiharu Tsuge's famous 1968 short comic Nejishiki -- as seen in The Comics Journal #250 -- into a Sharp X68000 arcade-at-home computer production, on 5.25" floppies: the true gekiga format! It retailed for over $100 back in the day, from the looks of the label, and it came with a comic!

Man, I wonder if it ends with a boating action scene, just like in The Oregon Trail...
