    Overview

    Bonze Adventure, or Jigoku Meguri ("Hell Tour"), is an Arcade platformer featuring the eponymous Buddhist monk Bonze has he makes his way through the Shinto/Buddhist equivalent of Hell. He is beset by demons and yokai from all sides but is able to exorcise them with his prayer beads, which are thrown outwards with a bouncing motion.

    Jigoku Meguri was first released to the Arcade in 1988 and later saw a Japan-only PC Engine port in 1990. It would not receive another release until 2005's Taito Memories Joukan compilation for the PS2. It would later be included in the Taito Legends 2 compilation for the US and Europe, marking its first home console release for either region. The PC Engine port was also added to the Wii's Virtual Console in Japan in 2008.
