Salaryman Champ: Tatakau Salaryman
A salaryman is your stereotyped version of the Japanese besuited businessman: hard-working, undervalued by the boss and never complaining. The salaryman is a busy life too, if Salary Man Champ is to be believed, this fun-filled minigame fest is a journey through the life of a salaryman, as he strives to be the pinnacle of Japanese society and climbs the corporate staircase The game consists of a variety of different, mostly odd, minigames. this fun title involves challenges such as curry eating contests, running up stairwells, and outrunning kiss blowing blokes! The stages vary, going from straight-up button mashing to strategic button-mashing, to timed button pressing, to colour and action matching. The various games have different themes too. In one, you're shaking hands with people, and batting away the hands of kitties. In another, you're singing karaoke, like any good Japanese guy. In another, you're picking up chicks at a bar, by tossing them fluorescent pink beverages. Careful in the bar though, a poorly timed press can lead a male patron or even the bartender to fall in love with you. You've got two competitors in these games too, either taken on by your friends or the AI. The game is a challenge either way, and could certainly be made into a decent drinking game. The game is a conversion of the Arcade Machine by Konami.
