Rarish Japanese game

I've got a copy of this winging its way to my house. Anyone seen it before? Know anything about it?

I also got one of these:

Which is weird. Concept by ASCII, Capcom printed on the pad and made by Panasonic. Also the Japanese word for "Interactive" is spelt wrong on the front...

My first thought was it was cheap chinese knock-off but it's exactly (I'm mean precisely the same as my Sf2 pad...

I have both of those. I've had the game for about 10 years now. Don't know much about Kamachi though. The pad is legit. Dunno if ASCII made all US and Japanese pads or what. My bet is that ASCII made them all. It seems unlikely that Capcom did anything other than than slap their name on the pad.

Is Kamachi some sort of interactive edutainment pap do you think, or is it a game?

It doesn't look much like a game. The back of the case just shows some screenshots with a bunch of balloons. Not terribly informative. Would be like the box for Doom having screenshots of flower gardens. I haven't looked at the manual in ages, and I don't even remember if I ever tried playing it though.

I dunno, when I first saw the game, I immediately thought "Bruce Lee starring in Kamachi's Museum". That lasted all of 5 minutes. I guess if you live in Japan, Kamachi would be a known entity... Maybe.

Those screenshots are just of the TV Asahi logo, it looks like.

Judging by the screenshot here, you're just touring Yamada's Memorial Museum (which actually exists). Since it was developed by System Sacom, it probably works like other games they worked on (Seal of the Pharaoh, Mansion of Hidden Souls).

Some googling reveals that Kamachi Yamada was a poet and painter who died in 1977 at 17 from electrocution vis-à-vis his electric guitar.

It doesn't sound like the type shoot 'em horror boob-a-thon I like. But obviously I'll give it a go. ;)

Turned up today! Along with a sealed copy of Dragon Tycoon Saga. :)
