Taisen Kakutou Puzzle Game "HOKUTO DE BON!!"
System: PC running Windows 95/98
Maker: €Е•тЌsѓJѓ“ѓpѓjЃ[
Yamibugyou Company, 2000 May 14
http://www2.odn.ne.jp/ojo-noyokusitu/
Requirements
OS: Windows 95/98 *Installs on Japanese version only
CPU: Pentium 166MHz or higher (MMX 233MHz or higher recommended)
Memory: 32 MB or higher (64 MB or higher recommended)
Graphics: 640x480 (256 Colors), DirectX 7 or higher
Hard Disk: 600 MB to install (maybe only 300 MB, depending on where you look
in the instruction manual)
Optional
Sound Card: DirectX 3 compatible sound card
Game Pad: A windows compatible game pad.
What is "Hokuto de BON!"?
=========================
Based on "Hokuto no Ken", (which is known in the US as "Fist of the North
Star", [even though "Hokuto" actually means "Big Dipper" and NOT "North Star"!])
Hokuto de BON!! is a lot like an old game called "Breakout" (or another
similar old game called "Blockbuster" for the Commodore 64) combined with
Capcom's "Super Puzzle Fighter II X". In these games (Breakout and
Blockbuster) you hit a ball with a paddle. The ball bounces against
blocks at the top of the screen and breaks them. When the ball comes back
toward the paddle, the paddle must not let the ball get past it. The goal
of the game was to break all of the blocks at the top of the screen.
In HDB, the Ball is replaced with a fist, the paddle replaced with the top
view of a character, and the blocks are replaced with the heads of mohawked
punks. You are also now playing against an opponent. When you break the
blocks, they go to your opponent's side of the screen. You also have a life
meter. If the blocks go past the yellow line near the bottom of the screen,
your life meter is decreased. The game is over when either you or your
opponent's life meters reach 0% (or if the time runs out).
Installation:
=============
This game will not fully install on the US version of Windows 98. If you
try to install "Hokuto de BON!!" on the US version of Windows 98 the
install program will fail when it tries to copy a shortcut to their homepage.
(This is because the name of the file contains Japanese characters. The US
version of Windows 98 doesn't accept most Japanese characters in filenames.)
But the game can be made to run on the US version of windows if you have
access to another computer that is running the Japanese version of
Windows 95 or 98.
1) First, install the game on the computer running the Japanese version of
Windows. (The install program should have no problems on the Japanese
version of Windows.)
2) Next, run the install program on the US version of Windows. The program
will fail as described above.
3) Look in the directory C:\Program Files\YAMI\HDB\ on the computer running
the US version of windows. (Your HD might have a different letter than C.)
There should be three subdirectories called AVI, DAT, and WAV. The install
program installed all of the files contained in these subdirectories; the
only ones not installed are the files in the main directory.
4) Go to the same directory (C:\Program Files\YAMI\HDB\) of the computer
running the Japanese verison of Windows. Copy all of the files from this
directory (but not the subdirectories) onto some type of removeable media.
If the only option you have is floppy disks than you don't need to copy the
HDB_OP.avi file. On the removable media, rename any files containing Japanese
characters so that they no longer contain Japanese characters. (There should
only be one file that needs to be renamed.)
5) Copy the files from the disk into the C:\Program Files\YAMI\HDB\ folder
on the computer running the US version of Windows. If you were using a
floppy disk and couldn't copy the large HDB_OP.avi file from the Japanese
computer, copy another movie file into the C:\Program Files\YAMI\HDB\
directory and rename it to HDB_OP.avi.
To play the game, run HDB.exe (which is in C:\Program Files\YAMI\HDB\).

You can play the game using the keyboard or a gamepad. You don't use the

as it is to use a gamepad.

Characters:
===========
ѓPѓ“ѓVѓЌѓE
Kenshirou
---------------------
Drops sets of 10 Heads. Њ„ЉФ–і‚.... (I'll translate this later...)
HHHHHHHHHH
Special Move (Level 1): Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken. Kenshirou's punches destroy
all the heads on his side and sends them to his opponent's side.
Special Move (Level 2): Musoutensei. Kenshirou's punches send the heads on
to his side to his opponent's side. Then the "Hokuto Shichi Sei" appears on
the opponent's side and additional damage is done to the opponent.
ѓnЃ[ѓg
Heart
-----
Drops sets of 4 heads
HH HH
HH HH
Special Move: The heads on Heart's opponent's side of the screen become
Heart's heads, which are much larger and require multiple hits to destroy.
ѓVѓ“
Shin
----
Drops sets of 5 heads:
H H H H
HHH HHH
Special Move: Shin's hands destroy heads on both his and his opponent's side.
The heads destroyed on the opponent's side cause damage to the opponent.
ѓЊѓC
Rei
---
Drops sets of 4 heads:
H H
HHH HHH
Special Move: Hisshou Hakurei: Rei slices through several rows of heads on
both his and his opponents fields. The yellow bar on his opponent's side
becomes much higher. (It slowly lowers with time, eventually returning to
its original position.)
ѓWѓѓѓM
Jagi
----
Drops heads in sets of 2
H H
H H
Jagi is probably the weakest character in the game. He almost always loses.
When Jagi's super meter becomes full, his hand will cover up the ball on his
opponent's field.
Super move: Jagi's hand cover's up his opponent's side of the screen.
ѓTѓEѓUЃ[
Souther
-------
Drops geads in sets of 5:
HHH HHH
H H H H
Special Move: Souther swaps fields with his opponent. (The heads in his
opponent's field switch with his own.) Souther can also prevent his opponent
from performing his special move; Right when his opponent starts to do his
special move, (if Souther's meter is full) he can execute his special move to
stop his opponent. (If this is successful, an animation of Souther waving
his finger back and forth is shown.)
ѓgѓL
Toki
----
Drops heads in groups of 4:
HHH HHH
H H
Special Move: Tokei Kouhou: While Toki is performing this move (there will be
an aura around him while it is active) any damage that would normally be
applied to him will damage his opponent instead. (If you are fighting
against Toki, DON'T use your special move while he is doing his!)
ѓ‰ѓIѓEЃiЊќ‰¤Ѓj
Raou
----
Drops heads in groups of 5:
HHHHH HHHHH
Special Move (Level 1): Tenshou Honretsu: A beam of light shoots from Raou's
palms, destroying all of the heads in his field. Each head destroyed causes
damage to his opponent.
Special Move (Level 2): Musou Tensei: Raou's fist comes up and destroys all
the heads in his field (hurts opponent), then comes down and destroys the
heads in his opponent's field (which also hurts his opponent). After that,
the Hokuto Shichisei (7 Big Dipper stars) are drawn over the opponents field,
which glow and then disappear, causing even more damage to the opponent.
Note: When you K.O. your opponent with Raou, "Њќ‰¤" (Ken'ou) will be written
on screen instead of "K.O."
Hidden characters:
To get Maruchi and Akari, beat Story Mode on the easiest difficutly setting.
To get Miena and Yuria: I don't remember what exactly I did to get them.
If you beat Story Mode on all of the difficulty levels, and also beat
"Suto~ri~ Mode" (Miena Story Mode) you should get these characters.
ѓ}ѓ‹ѓ`
Multi (Maruchi)
---------------
This character looks like Kenshirou wearing a schoolgirl outfit, a green wig,
and weird white things covering his ears. She(?) also has a pair of
nunchaku, which she uses to bust heads in her special move, which works
similarly to Kenshirou's "Hyaku Retsu Ken" level 1 super move.
(This character did not actually appear in the "Hokuto no Ken" comics or
anime. As far as I know, this character was created by the creators of this
game.)
‚ ‚©‚и
Akari
-----
Akari looks like Raou wearing a wig and a Japanese sailor schoolgirl outfit.
Her special move is similar to Raou's "Tenshou Honretsu" move. (Akari's wig
comes off when she does this move!)
(This character did not actually appear in the "Hokuto no Ken" comics or
anime. As far as I know, this character was created by the creators of this
game.)
ѓ~Ѓ[ѓi
Mi-na (Miena)
-------------
Mi-na is the mascot of the Yamibugyou Company, who created this game.
Special Move: Mi-na calls out Heart and various mohawkked punks from the
"Hokuto no Ken" series. Then, wave after wave of these heads come and fill
up her opponent's field.
ѓ†ѓЉѓA
Yuria
-----
Unlike in the comics, Yulia is probably the most powerful character in the
game. (But she has other people doing her fighting for her.)
Yuria has four men who love her protecting her: Kenshirou, Shin, Toki, and
Raou. Two of them will be on screen in front of her. Her level 1 super move
is just one of the super moves of the two men guarding her. Her level 2
super move is that 1 man will perform his super, then the second will perform
his super move. If Kenshirou or Raou is the second man, he will perform the
Musou Tensei.
I think it would have been really neat to have had the Goshasei Yuria instead
of Ken, Shin, Toki and Raou. But I can understand that they probably didn't
want to make a bunch of new animations just for one character.

Characters:
===========
ѓPѓ“ѓVѓЌѓE
Kenshirou
---------------------
Drops sets of 10 Heads. Њ„ЉФ–і‚.... (I'll translate this later...)
HHHHHHHHHH
Special Move (Level 1): Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken. Kenshirou's punches destroy
all the heads on his side and sends them to his opponent's side.
Special Move (Level 2): Musoutensei. Kenshirou's punches send the heads on
to his side to his opponent's side. Then the "Hokuto Shichi Sei" appears on
the opponent's side and additional damage is done to the opponent.
ѓnЃ[ѓg
Heart
-----
Drops sets of 4 heads
HH HH
HH HH
Special Move: The heads on Heart's opponent's side of the screen become
Heart's heads, which are much larger and require multiple hits to destroy.
ѓVѓ“
Shin
----
Drops sets of 5 heads:
H H H H
HHH HHH
Special Move: Shin's hands destroy heads on both his and his opponent's side.
The heads destroyed on the opponent's side cause damage to the opponent.
ѓЊѓC
Rei
---
Drops sets of 4 heads:
H H
HHH HHH
Special Move: Hisshou Hakurei: Rei slices through several rows of heads on
both his and his opponents fields. The yellow bar on his opponent's side
becomes much higher. (It slowly lowers with time, eventually returning to
its original position.)
ѓWѓѓѓM
Jagi
----
Drops heads in sets of 2
H H
H H
Jagi is probably the weakest character in the game. He almost always loses.
When Jagi's super meter becomes full, his hand will cover up the ball on his
opponent's field.
Super move: Jagi's hand cover's up his opponent's side of the screen.
ѓTѓEѓUЃ[
Souther
-------
Drops geads in sets of 5:
HHH HHH
H H H H
Special Move: Souther swaps fields with his opponent. (The heads in his
opponent's field switch with his own.) Souther can also prevent his opponent
from performing his special move; Right when his opponent starts to do his
special move, (if Souther's meter is full) he can execute his special move to
stop his opponent. (If this is successful, an animation of Souther waving
his finger back and forth is shown.)
ѓgѓL
Toki
----
Drops heads in groups of 4:
HHH HHH
H H
Special Move: Tokei Kouhou: While Toki is performing this move (there will be
an aura around him while it is active) any damage that would normally be
applied to him will damage his opponent instead. (If you are fighting
against Toki, DON'T use your special move while he is doing his!)
ѓ‰ѓIѓEЃiЊќ‰¤Ѓj
Raou
----
Drops heads in groups of 5:
HHHHH HHHHH
Special Move (Level 1): Tenshou Honretsu: A beam of light shoots from Raou's
palms, destroying all of the heads in his field. Each head destroyed causes
damage to his opponent.
Special Move (Level 2): Musou Tensei: Raou's fist comes up and destroys all
the heads in his field (hurts opponent), then comes down and destroys the
heads in his opponent's field (which also hurts his opponent). After that,
the Hokuto Shichisei (7 Big Dipper stars) are drawn over the opponents field,
which glow and then disappear, causing even more damage to the opponent.
Note: When you K.O. your opponent with Raou, "Њќ‰¤" (Ken'ou) will be written
on screen instead of "K.O."
Hidden characters:
To get Maruchi and Akari, beat Story Mode on the easiest difficutly setting.
To get Miena and Yuria: I don't remember what exactly I did to get them.
If you beat Story Mode on all of the difficulty levels, and also beat
"Suto~ri~ Mode" (Miena Story Mode) you should get these characters.
ѓ}ѓ‹ѓ`
Multi (Maruchi)
---------------
This character looks like Kenshirou wearing a schoolgirl outfit, a green wig,
and weird white things covering his ears. She(?) also has a pair of
nunchaku, which she uses to bust heads in her special move, which works
similarly to Kenshirou's "Hyaku Retsu Ken" level 1 super move.
(This character did not actually appear in the "Hokuto no Ken" comics or
anime. As far as I know, this character was created by the creators of this
game.)
‚ ‚©‚и
Akari
-----
Akari looks like Raou wearing a wig and a Japanese sailor schoolgirl outfit.
Her special move is similar to Raou's "Tenshou Honretsu" move. (Akari's wig
comes off when she does this move!)
(This character did not actually appear in the "Hokuto no Ken" comics or
anime. As far as I know, this character was created by the creators of this
game.)
ѓ~Ѓ[ѓi
Mi-na (Miena)
-------------
Mi-na is the mascot of the Yamibugyou Company, who created this game.
Special Move: Mi-na calls out Heart and various mohawkked punks from the
"Hokuto no Ken" series. Then, wave after wave of these heads come and fill
up her opponent's field.
ѓ†ѓЉѓA
Yuria
-----
Unlike in the comics, Yulia is probably the most powerful character in the
game. (But she has other people doing her fighting for her.)
Yuria has four men who love her protecting her: Kenshirou, Shin, Toki, and
Raou. Two of them will be on screen in front of her. Her level 1 super move
is just one of the super moves of the two men guarding her. Her level 2
super move is that 1 man will perform his super, then the second will perform
his super move. If Kenshirou or Raou is the second man, he will perform the
Musou Tensei.
I think it would have been really neat to have had the Goshasei Yuria instead
of Ken, Shin, Toki and Raou. But I can understand that they probably didn't
want to make a bunch of new animations just for one character.
