For those of you who are Naruto fans, may find something in this video familiar. In fact, the three-way deadlock is an old Japanese custom usually used in the game of Kitsune-ken (Rock, Paper, scissors). The proper Japanese term is Sansukumi. It is described as 3 figures or opponents going head-to-head in a standoff. Snake eats frog, Frog eats slug, But snakes' venom doesn't effect slug. Therefor they are deadlocked.

Legend of the ghost Lion is a 1989 video game released by Kemco for the Famicom in Japan. Who most know today as one of the largest video game companies in the 2010’s which delivered a large market in mobile gaming. 

 This is one of the few rare obscure rpgs to be released outside of Japan and was licensed by Nintendo of America in 1992. The game plays similar to Dragon quest with a turn-based combat system and over world exploration. However, one very significant distinction is that the lead player is female which was a rarity of the era for rpgs like this with most female characters being relegated to supporting roles only. This is also a jrpg that is an isekai story, for those that don’t know, the term isekai in Japan defines a character usually in a real-world scenario, being transported into some sort of fantasy or fictional world and must survive its harsh environments to try and find a way to escape back to reality. This is a very popular genre of Japanese media usually seen in a lot of anime and video games. 

You play as a young girl named maria the star protagonist who is a human character, whose village has been attacked by the beast the White Lion. Her parents try to hunt it down and she follows, only to be knocked unconscious and wake up in a fantasy world. This game also is loosely based on a very obscure Film called “Beyond the Pyramids: Legend of the Ghost Lion” who stars the actress “Anne Marie McEvoy”, of the sitcom Full house and was only released in Japan with an American dub, an extremely rare oddity for a film such as this. Anyways, enjoy the game!
