Lupin Sansei

Developed by Namco for the Famicom in 1984, Lupin Sansei is an action game based on Monkey Punch's manga and the Toei Animation series. Players step into the shoes of the legendary gentleman thief Lupin III, navigating top-down stages while evading police pursuit and snatching target items to complete each heist. Classic series characters such as Jigen Daisuke and Goemon Ishikawa make appearances throughout. The game captures the irreverent, caper-style humor of the source material and remains a notable early example of licensed IP adaptations on the Famicom.
