Introduction

Welcome, fellow detectives, to the world of 'Meitantei Conan'! Buckle up, because we're about to embark on a wildly entertaining ride filled with plot twists, baffling mysteries, and, let's be honest, a bit of amateur sleuthing that would make even Sherlock Holmes raise an eyebrow. Never thought you'd be solving crimes while pushing buttons and munching on snacks in your mom's basement? Well, think again! Grab your magnifying glass, and let's dive in!

Gameplay

'Meitantei Conan' is like if classic whodunits and interactive adventures had a baby and decided to throw a theme party. You'll step into the shoes of the legendary Detective Conan, aka Shinichi Kudo, but shrunk to the size of a pint-sized genius with the detective skills to match. Your mission? Solve murders with a side of delightful dialogue and puzzles that will make you feel like the most prestigious of detectives. You’ll gather clues, interrogate suspects, and try not to get sidetracked by the enticing thought of snacks instead of solving a murder. Honestly, I found myself more invested in finding the nearest pizza place instead of the actual motive behind the murder. Priorities, right?

Graphics

Upon launching 'Meitantei Conan', you might notice the graphics can sometimes feel like a nostalgic trip back to the 90s. While they won’t exactly match the visually stunning cinematics of today's titles, there’s a certain charm to the colorful, cartoon-like art style. It's as though the graphics are saying, 'Hey, we may not be cutting-edge, but we can still serve up some intriguing mysteries!' The character designs are pretty spot on, so it's easy to identify everyone you’re dealing with - or just amazed at how many different hairstyles there are in the anime universe. Seriously, these characters need to share their hair care secrets! 

Conclusion

'Meitantei Conan' is a delightful mix of intriguing storytelling and interactive gameplay that holds up pretty well, even two decades after its initial release. If you’re a fan of the anime or just someone who enjoys a good mystery, then this game is a solid choice for your gaming repertoire. Sure, it may not be everyone's cup of tea – especially if your interests lie more in flame-throwing dragons or racing against the clock in highly intense shootouts. But for a fun, laid-back detective adventure, you will find quite a bit to appreciate. 'Meitantei Conan' is the perfect game for those cozy nights in, where you can solve crimes without ever having to leave your couch. Your pizza delivery may come faster than the police, but that’s part of the magic. Did you solve the case? Well, while you ponder that, I’ll be over here investigating how long a pizza takes to arrive using my detective skills!
