Kono e Tako (10021 Ver.A)

Kono e Tako is a two-player puzzle game released in Japan by Mitchell Corporation in 2003. Utilizing Namco System 10 hardware and distributed by Capcom, this arcade title presents players with a unique drop-style challenge. Players control their pieces using an eight-way joystick and two buttons to strategically position them within the playfield, aiming for clever combinations and clearing space. The game’s name translates roughly to “This Good Octopus,” though its connection to cephalopods is purely thematic; gameplay revolves around manipulating falling shapes rather than any octopus-related mechanics. Cooperative play allows for shared strategy and teamwork as players work together towards a common goal within the puzzle environment. Kono e Tako offers a straightforward yet engaging experience with simple controls, inviting both casual and dedicated puzzle fans to test their skills in this collaborative arcade game.
