Chiisana Obake - Acchi Socchi Kocchi is one of those weird little NES games that never left Japan, and honestly? It's kind of a hidden gem. You play as a tiny ghost (the "chiisana obake" from the title) floating around these maze-like stages, trying to collect items while avoiding bigger ghosts. The controls take a second to get used to—your ghost drifts a bit, like you're underwater—but once it clicks, it's weirdly satisfying.

The whole thing has this quirky, almost dreamy vibe. The music's simple but catchy, and the way the ghosts bob around feels oddly charming. Some stages have you sneaking past enemies, others are more about quick reflexes. I got stuck on this one screen where you have to time your movements just right between these patrolling blobs—took me way too many tries to figure it out.

It's not super deep, but there's something about its simplicity that sticks with you. If you're into obscure retro stuff, this one's worth a look. Just don't expect a full-blown adventure—it's more of a "play for 20 minutes with a smile" kind of game.
