About The Game

Kuri Kinton is a horizontally scrolling arcade video game beat-em-up where you fight your way through an underground fortress of evil ninjas, boxers, and other enemies to rescue your girlfriend.

Trivia

The title of this game translates from Japanese as 'Honor League Gold Association'. Note that there is a Japanese dish called 'kuri-kinton' which is mashed sweet potatoes and chestnuts.

Zuntata Records released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Zuntata History L'ab-normal 1st - ZTTL-0038) on 01/04/1999.

Updates

The prototype version has :

  • Difficulty very unoptimized.
  • DIPSWs invincibility and slow motion.
  • No end credits.
  • No water in level 2/3, only brown garbage instead.
  • Some other minor things (graphic glitches vs. bosses, bad-oriented continue screen, etc).
