Kemco Toki no Tabibito Famicom Japan CIB
1 OF 1 · NO RESTOCK
Kemco's "Toki no Tabibito" for the Famicom is a Japan-only CIB release from the late 1980s, a text-adventure RPG tied directly to the 1986 animated film of the same name. The game follows the anime's premise: a high school girl pulled backward through feudal Japanese history, navigating samurai courts and period conflict through text commands and branching choices. Complete in box, Japanese market original.
The 1986 film came out during the peak of Madhouse studio's collaboration run with Toei-adjacent distribution, a period when anime features regularly spun off into Famicom tie-ins as a way to extend a property's shelf life beyond the theater. Kemco was one of the more active third-party licensees doing this work in the mid-to-late 1980s, building text-adventure and RPG hybrids that leaned on the source material's art rather than inventing new assets. "Toki no Tabibito" belongs to that lineage alongside titles like "Kinnikuman" and early Taito adaptations, games made for fans of the film who wanted more hours inside the story. The box art reflects that directly: the protagonist in her school uniform appears center-frame surrounded by illustrated samurai and period battle scenes, with a rainbow infinity motif anchoring the lower composition. That image is lifted almost directly from the film's promotional materials, which was standard practice for Kemco's licensed titles in this run.

This copy presents as a complete-in-box unit. The manual, box, and cartridge are all present, which is the baseline requirement for Famicom CIB grading. Japanese Famicom boxes from this period were printed on lighter card stock than their NES counterparts and show edge wear more readily, so check the four box corners and the top seam where the flap meets the body. The cartridge connector pins on Famicom carts from Kemco's late-80s runs tend to hold up well, but inspect them for oxidation before any play test. Check the box seam along the top fold: delamination there is the first thing to note on any Famicom box this age.
OWNER VERIFY: Confirm production year falls within 1987–1989 based on label date code or manual copyright page.

This is part of Nintendo's 80s run, the era that built the shop's back wall. Nintendo shipped cartridges, plush, promotional oddities, and packaging that most buyers threw out on the way to the game. What survived, mostly by accident, ends up here. Every piece is cleaned, photographed, and listed one at a time. Nothing on the archive shelf is a duplicate.
