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.

Story

Iyami and Chibita have kidnapped Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu in retaliation for being attacked by them and Osomatsu. Osomatsu sets out to rescue them, armed only with a slingshot. The plot of the game is presented in a short manga in the manual.

Gameplay
