Sadari (Japan, NTC license)

Players cooperate in Sadari, a puzzle game released in 1993 by Dooyong under license from NTC for the Japanese arcade market. Using eight-way joysticks and two buttons each, two players manipulate falling blocks to create solid platforms across the screen. The goal is to build pathways that allow figures to safely descend while avoiding hazards; misaligned blocks lead to dropped characters and a loss of lives. The gameplay focuses on precise timing and coordinated action as the difficulty steadily increases with faster block drops and more complex layouts. Sadari features sound chips from Yamaha and OKI, contributing to its audio experience. It was distributed by NTC, who alongside Dooyong had close ties to NMK, a company known for other arcade titles. This title requires teamwork and communication for success; it is intended for mature audiences due to the challenging nature of the gameplay.
