Comments (5) Not-for-sale "Game de Check! Koutsuu Anzen" from 1987! Posted Fri Mar 27, 2020 1:54 pm by Bock Game page: https://www.smspower.org/Games/GameDeCheckKoutsuuAnzen-SMS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 27, 2020 MIRACLE WORLD - Not-for-sale Traffic Safety Sega Master System game from 1987 resurfaces! Game de Check! Koutsuu Anzen for the Sega Master System / Mark III Original: ゲームでチェック！交通安全 [gēmu de chekku! kōtsū anzen] Literally: “Let’s check with a game! Traffic Safety” The community is happy to celebrate its 23rd anniversary today by unearthing and preserving yet another extremely rare game title for the Sega Master System! We are also releasing a complete Japanese to English translation patch for the game . Active since 1997, people behind have been meticulously documenting and preserving Sega 8-bit history. About one thousand titles, including many obscure ones, are catalogued and have been digitally preserved. Hardware has been researched, documented, hacked, augmented. Games have been reverse engineered, secrets found, soundtracks extracted, long lost staff credits made public, countless prototypes have been found. Every year the site hosts a competition for people making games, demos or music on Sega 8-bit systems. This release has been made possible with help from NPO Game Preservation Society (NPO法人ゲーム保存協会) in Japan. What is it? Game de Check! Koutsuu Anzen is an educational Sega Master System/Sega Mark III cartridge commissioned by The Tokio Marine and Fire Insurance Ltd and developed by Sega in 1987. A lengthy research article by SukaSega (in Japanese) has a list of known appearances of this long lost game over the years, mostly from non-game publications.

The video game software "Check by Game! Traffic Safety" is designed so that children and adults can enjoy the game naturally, deepen their understanding of traffic safety, and learn basic traffic safety rules. The three games are packaged together in one software cassette. [...] Quote: The project has received a prize from the Japan Traffic Safety Education Promotion Association (Chairman Hideki Okazaki). Tokio Marine is a company aiming to become a comprehensive security service industry, while providing peace of mind to the general public through the spread of property and casualty insurance, while preventing accidents themselves is an important social mission, and various services related to safety and disaster prevention. Quote: As part of this service for customers, the company hopes to prevent traffic accidents, which have become a major social issue today [...] the company hopes that as many people as possible will enjoy the video game, which will help raise public awareness of traffic safety. Quote: This project was created mainly for the purpose of being widely used in traffic safety campaigns at kindergartens and nurseries, as well as for community-wide traffic safety campaigns such as re...
