Huang Di: Zhuolu zhi Zhan

Résumé · Unfortunately, being an unlicensed Taiwanese game, produced only in small batches, we know very little about it. Thanks to the splash screen we know it was developed by electronics company ASDER, but we have no idea when, where, or how it was released or dumped. For a long time around the millennial days of the internet, when emulation wasn't what it is today, there wasn't even consensus on the name. Somehow a ROM had surfaced and forumites referred to it as "Wang Di", "Hwang Di", or simply: that weird Chinese platformer. No one had ever seen it in the wild either. Around 2006 a gentleman named Jbholio on ASSEMblergames shed some light: "To answer your question, yes I've seen Huang Di in cart format but it's very hard to find. All NTDEC original games are tough to find. I've seen it with a yellow and a blue case (see pics). The game was developed by Asder and published by NTDEC. The ID# is CN-29. Later releases (CN-20 - CN-29) are better quality games. Here are all games published by NTDEC." Meanwhile Taizou on HG101's forums dug up a photo of the boxart and helped with the full name, Huang Di : Zhuolu zhi Zhan, and the Chinese characters for it.
