Onna Sanshirou: Typhoon Gal

Onna Sanshirou – Typhoon Gal (女三四郎 – 台風ギャル, Onna Sanshirō – Taifū Gyaru), is a fighting arcade game that was released by Taito Corporation in 1985 only in Japan; it runs on the company’s The FairyLand Story hardware (two Zilog Z80s running at 5.3665 and 4 MHz) and was also included in that Japan-exclusive compilation title Taito Memories II Gekan for the Sony PlayStation 2 in 2007.

The player must take control for a pink-outfitted female warrior (this woman is the eponymous “Onna Sanshirō”, which means “Sanshirō Woman” in Japanese), as she takes on various white- and black-outfitted male opponents to defend the honour of her dojo; there are a total of eight unique rounds in the game, and once the last one has been cleared, the cycle will start over again at a higher level of difficulty (and continue in this manner until the player either runs out of lives or finishes 256 rounds).
