Hello!
Your Retrofab simulations are really amazing! Here is a suggestion for 3 games (all based on the Lupin III franchise) to be emulated!
I found 2 manuals for 2 Epoch Pocket Digi-Com games based on the Lupin III Part III TV series on Archive.org. Both of these manuals are in Japanese (a language that I don't speak nor read), but I was able to make a guess of the gameplay of these games.
In the first one, Lupin must defeat/avoid enemies to rescue Fujiko (his love interest). First, he must avoid rocks thrown by a guy, then climb on a wire while beating an enemy standing in a pool under Lupin. Next, he has to fight a armoured enemy with a sword before taking control of a flying platform. After climbing that platform, Lupin has to kill the last enemy (who tries to whack Lupin with a trunk) before rescuing Fujiko.
In the second one, Lupin must steal valuable items by jumping on platforms, while avoiding (depending of the area in the game) a guard who will ring the alarm (he can be neutralized if you hit him with a plastic hammer), spikes, a camera with a gun, and Inspector Zenigata. After that, he'll pin a message that seems to indicate the presence of a time bomb and return to his helicopter.
I don't know the release date of these games, but it may be circa 1984-85, when the TV series aired. Here is the link: https://archive.org/details/20230226_20230226_1716 (Some of the images are in the wrong order)
The third game is more obscure (I stumbled on it while I was searching for other images for the 2 Epoch games). This one is called Lupin the third - Darkness Chateau, and was produced by Popy Electronics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popy). This company, formed by Bandai, was known for making toys but also LCD games based on licenses such as Dr Slump, Doraemon or Ultraman... According to this site (http://

Thank you and have a nice day!
That game is really good, but I'm stuck at the beginning of week 2: I have to give two tickets for a film that is a sequel. I don't have a problem for choosing the right film but when I try to return the right amount (which would be 30 bucks, logically), it says that it's not right... Am I doing something wrong?
Apart from that, I'm enjoying that game!
