7 Awesome Japanese Video Games Never Released In The USA

7. Devil World

Devil World is a maze game first released in Japan in 1984. You control Tamagon (a green dragon cuter than Robert Pattinson being drowned in kittens) and collect crucifixes to gain the ability to breathe fire and eat dots in the maze.

The cool original feature is that the maze moves around as you play it, controlled by the Devil and his minions pulling pulleys and ropes at the top of the screen. It’s fun and addictive like these early maze games can be.

Devil World did get a European release in 1987, and was also released on the Wii's Virtual console in 2008. But Devil World never got an American release. Presumably because a little dragon in hell shooting fireballs at the devil out of a crucifix was a little too iconoclastic for the American populace to handle.

Who knows how many young minds this adorable little green dragon would have corrupted if he’d been allowed into the USA. Don’t worry Tamagon, you’ll always have a place in my heart.
