Popful Mail (PC-88, 1991/PC-98, 1992/PCE CD, 1994)(Untranslated) - WIP

Subgenre: ARPG-ish (similar to Clash at Demonhead and Wonder Boy in Monster World, towns w/ shops)


Other: Hub map w/ free movement on the paths

Switch between three different characters on the fly (have to rescue two of them)
Two traversal tools and abilities (spiked boots for traction on ice, more?; Gaw can jump higher which lets you reach some new places). The rest are key items (bomb is used once in a specific spot; same with hammer, ladder and coffee)
Save feature (world map only?)
No area maps?
No fast travel?
