Enix:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The company that would be Enix sponsered a gaming contest. Door Door
was programmed by Koichi Nakamura as his entry for the contest. He
won first prize. Yuji Horii also placed in the same contest with a
tennis game. They were both hired by Enix after the contest and the
rights to their games also became property of Enix. Door Door was the
first game released by Enix for the Famicom. The game was only
released in Japan but it is entirely in English.
Note: I don't know what system Nakamura originally programmed it for,
but it was probably for the PC-8801 or PC-6001.
"The Port Pier Serial Murder Case" was the second game released by
Enix for the NES. It was written by Yuji Horii for the PC-8801 and
was ported to the Famicom by Chun Soft, i.e. Koichi Nakamura. It was
the first adventure game released for the Famicom. The game was only
released in Japan, but an English translation of this game was
released by DvD Translations.
Enix's third Famicom game made Horii and Nakamura household names in
Japan and was the first RPG released for the Famicom, "Dragon Quest".
Nintendo released the game for the NES in the US, enhancing the player
sprites, the coastline graphics, and adding a battery backup save.
The name for the US release was changed to "Dragon Warrior" because
another company already held the rights to the Dragon Quest name in
the US.
Door Door, The Port Pier Serial Murder Case, Dragon Quest, and Dragon
Quest II were ported to other computers in japan, including the MSx.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Object: Trap all aliens behind closed doors. To do this, open doors.
Then, close doors after aliens have walked through the open doors to
trap aliens behind them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls:
NES:
U
L+R Select Start B A
D
L= Walk Left
R= Walk Right
U= Climb Up, Walk Left or Right = The direction you're facing
D= Climb Down, Walk Left or Right = The direction you're facing
Select= Unused
Start= Pause
A= Jump Up
L+A= Jump Left
R+A= Jump Right
B= Same as A

platform will kill you!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Characters:
You:
A cute white puffball with a baseball cap.
Aliens:
NES MSX MSX
------- ------- ------------------------- --------------------------
Orange Red Bucktooth with White Eyes = "Kyoro Kyoro * Namegon *"
Blue Cyan Amoebae = "Gucha Gucha * Amechan *"
Magenta Magenta Octopus = "Biyo Biyo * Invekun *"
Green White Blob with Tail = "Pyon Pyon * Otapyun *"
Namegon and Amechan act exactly the same. They are the easiest
aliens because their movements are the most predictable and they
cannot jump. They follow the most direct route between you and them.
Invekun follows you too, but it usually goes a different way from
Namegon and Amechan whenever it has a choice. Invekun also cannot
jump.
You can jump over Namegon, Amechan, and Invekun.
Otapyun is the only alien that can jump. It always jumps when you do,
so don't try to jump over it.
WATCH OUT: When only one alien remains on the screen, it speeds up its
movement. It can now move faster than you can!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Objects: (Colors from NES Version)
White Brick Platform:
Both you and the aliens walk on these.
White Brick Column with Blue Handles
Both you and the aliens can climb up or down these.
Blue Ladder
Only you can climb up or down these.
White Chain Link Fence Column
Only aliens can climb up or down these.
White Brick Column without Handles
You can slide down these. If I remember correctly, Aliens can climb
up and down these.
Striped Candy
Blue Popsicle
Lollipop
Bowl of Ice Cream
Cake
Mahjong Tile
Eat these for points. Just walk on them. Aliens can't eat them.
They appear at only one place per level.
Blue Bomb
Avoid these, the blow up and kill you when you walk on them. You can
jump over these. They appear at the same place the food does.
Aliens won't get hurt or blow them up when they walk on them.
Green Spike on the Ground
Avoid these, they kill you when you walk on them. You can jump over
these. Aliens won't get hurt when they walk on them.
Blue Arrow
These signify that WALKING off the side of the screen will wrap your
character around to the other side of the screen. Don't try to jump
from one side of the screen to the other where a blue arrow exists,
you'll just bounce off the wall. If the arrow is only on one side
of the screen, you can only walk the direction the arrow is pointing.
Door With One Handle On The Left Side
Walking past the door from left to right will open the door. Walking
from right to left will close the door. Only aliens walking from
right to left will enter the door.
Door With One Handle On The Right Side
Walking past the door from right to left will open the door. Walking
from left to right will close the door. Only aliens walking from
left to right will enter the door.
Door With One Handles On Both Sides
Walking past the door from either side will open the door. Once the
door has started to open, it magically becomes a Door with One Handle
until you pass the level or die.
Notes on Doors:
A door must be open all-the-way for an alien to enter it.
A door must be closed all the way to capture an alien inside it.
Once a door is closed with an alien inside it, its handle is removed
and it can't be opened again unless you die.
You can capture more than one alien in a door, but you have to be
fast. If you take too long a green arrow will appear above the door
to let you know that one or more aliens are about to come out of the
door in the direction that the arrow is pointing.
When you die, all trapped aliens remain trapped. But, all doors are
reset to their original position.
Jumping past closed doors allows you to pass a door without
opening it.
Jumping past open doors allows you to pass a door without closing it.
There is no other way to get rid of an alien but to trap it behind a
door. So, for levels with more aliens then doors you must trap
multiple aliens in the same door (or die) to pass the level.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 50 Walkthrough:
Level 50 is the last level of the game.
As far as doors and aliens are concerned, it's a piece of cake.
The hard part of this level is that it requires the player to have
perfect timing executing moves that are required for the first time
on this level.
Hold= Hold The Button Down
Hit = Hit The Button Once
+ = More Than One Button
Tap = Repeatedly Hit Button
Note:
This usually works for step 4.
This often doesn't work for step 7.
This pretty much always works in step 20 & 25.
The other option is to hit the button at just to right time.
1) - Don't move Left or Right at all
2) Hit R+A - Jump Right
3) - Land on bricks and start sliding down bricks.
4) Hold L & Tap A - Slide down bricks and jump left when you hit
bottom
6) - Land on bricks and start sliding down bricks.
7) Hold L & Tap A - Slide down bricks. Jump left when you hit
bottom. Bounce off left wall and land
on brick platform to the right
8) - Wait for Namegon
9) Hit A - When Namegon reaches large brick platform,
jump up to make it climb back up bricks
10) Hold R - Walk right to bricks with handles
11) Hold D - Climb down bricks with handles
12) Hit L+A - Jump left at bottom of bricks before you fall off
13) - Land on large platform with candy
14) Hold R - Eat candy

15) Hold R & Hit A - Jump to small platform
16) Hold R & Hit A - Jump to 3rd small platform
17) Hold R - Walk to right of platform
18) Hold R & Hit A - Jump to 4th small platform
19) Hold U - Climb up bricks with handles
20) Hold L & Tap A - Continue to climb up bricks with handles.
Jump right when you reach tiny platform between
the two sets of bricks with handles
21) - Land on small platform
22) Hold R - Walk to bricks with handles
23) Hold U - Climb up bricks with handles
24) Hold U - Start to climb up blue ladder
25) Hold L & Tap A - At top of blue ladder jump left to
