Where to even start? According to legend, it was originally a simple adaption of the board game "Sugoroku". But was eventually retooled into the utterly bizarre beat-em-up we know today.
Really, i think the store description tells you all you need to know.
In 1990, the "three strong men" appeared at the game center and were wrapped in a whirlpool of laughter⁉
The priest barks! Cursed by sheep! And a hot man runs around!

Unsurprisingly, the notable arcade game archivist team at Hamster is behind this re-release. Though it's not the first time.
It was previously available on Playstation 2 as part of the "Oretachi Gēsen Zoku" series.

That was released over 15 years ago, and was Japan-only. So this marks the first time Western audiences are able to experience the wild adventure.
Hamster stated they were going to bring it back in 2020, but evidently something went wrong along the way.

This version will only set you back about $7.99, the standard price for Arcade Archives re-releases. But before you drop in, remember these wise words.....

LUCKY!
CHA CHA CHA!
 
The game is not bad, it's just filled with weird shit.

For example, the last boss is a battle against a tiny dog and a dove.
