Nichibutsu • 1991


Nichibutsu’s Hana to Ojisan debuted in Japan in December 1991 as a two-player tabletop arcade game centered around hanafuda card play. Players utilize a specialized keyboard interface to match and manipulate cards displayed on screen, aiming for scoring combinations within the traditional hanafuda framework. The game features a distinctive aesthetic and soundtrack driven by its Zilog Z80 processor and Yamaha YM3812 sound chip. This medal-operated game presents a unique blend of Japanese card game mechanics with arcade gameplay elements. As a video release, Hana to Ojisan incorporates visual presentation beyond what's typical for traditional tabletop games, utilizing a horizontal screen resolution of 512x240 and a palette of 256 colors. The game’s title translates to "Flower and Uncle" in Japanese; its design includes imagery that may be considered mature by some audiences.
