Description
Jang Doo Jin's Baduk Clinic: First Lesson (aka Korean Igo) is a Korean educational game teaching the basics of Go developed and published by Golden Bell. The player can either follows lessons or play a versus game with another person.
This is the only Famicom title entirely in Korean. Since Hangul is an agglutinative language with thousands of possibilities and this game being text heavy, the developpers had to find a way to generate the text graphics on the fly rather than storing all existing combinations in the game CHR data.
