The Mojon Twins'rather scantily clad heroine Nanako is currently the star of two adventures, and, just to confuse things slightly, this second Amstrad CPC release, Nanako In Classic Japanese Monster Castle, is actually her original outing that was previously only available for the Spectrum. Nanako needs to be guided to the top of each screen while avoiding the roaming creatures, but she can't jump particularly high so has to rely either on her magical powers to pick up and drop boxes to build makeshift stairways, or occasionally balance on a monster's head to get a little extra height. 
Each screen contains enough boxes to complete, so the challenge comes from working out the optimal solution. Classic Japanese Monster Castle is a puzzle game at heart, with platform overtones that offer players a chance to exercise a few grey cells and their reactions simultaneously.
