Osomatsu-kun Hachamecha Gekijou (おそ松くん はちゃめちゃ劇場) is a 1988 action game by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive tying into the Osomatsu-kun media franchise in Japan, which at the time saw a revival in the form of an anime series stared the same year by Studio Pierrot and is both the first Japan-exclusive and the first non-ported Mega Drive game. It is one of the few Mega Drive games to never receive full support for TMSS, meaning it will only work on most Model 1 Mega Drives.
It is virtually unknown who has made the game, since there is no credits in any part of it.
