Gekisha Boy is a surreal, side-scrolling action photography game released for the PC Engine HuCard in 1992, where players control photography student David Goldman as he attempts to graduate by capturing bizarre “scoop” photos across eight chaotic levels. The gameplay uniquely combines platforming and shooting mechanics; while navigating David to avoid hazards like falling objects and erratic pedestrians, players must simultaneously use a crosshair to snap photos of weird occurrences—ranging from UFO sightings to pop-culture parodies—to reach a point quota before the stage ends. Because David’s film rolls serve as his health, players must balance their limited shots with the need to survive, making it a high-speed cult classic known for its eccentric humor and challenging multitasking.
