On this day (June 21) in Nintendo history...
Family BASIC was released in 1984 for the Family Computer in Japan. This programming utility, developed by Hudson Soft with Nintendo and Sharp, came packaged with the Famicom Keyboard and Famicom Data Recorder, plus a large manual to teach the fundamentals of how to get started with programming games. Family BASIC allows the user to program simple games in the customised BASIC language NU-BASIC (developed by Nintendo, Sharp and Hudson Soft).
Kung Fu was released in 1985 for the Family Computer in Japan. In this beat 'em up game, developed by Irem, gang boss Mr. X has kidnapped Sylvia and taken her to the Devil Castle. The skilled martial artist Thomas enters Mr. X's dojo and prepares to fight his way to the top of the castle to rescue her. Fight your way through hoards of oncoming enemies with punches and kicks and take out the boss character on each floor to progress. Reach the fifth floor to reach Mr. X himself and rescue Sylvia from his clutches.
Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis was released in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this tactical role-playing game, developed by Quest Corporation, a side story set before the events of Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen and Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber is told. Ovis is brutally oppressed by the knights of Lodis. Alphonse Loeher is a knight in Rictor Lasanti's military unit, the Order of the Sacred Flame, and he is sent to Ovis.
