Pachiokun 2 is the second in a series of five pachinko games for the Famicom.
The main premise of the game, as you would guess, is playing pachinko! Your
objective is basically to play at every pachinko machine and win at each one,
and that's it! It can become quite addictive or tedious, depending on your
stance. At any rate, if you are really a fan of pachinko games, I would
recommend this one, otherwise it would be better off ignored.

===================
General Information
===================

When you start the game, you can either start a new game or continue by
entering a 20-character password (in Hiragana). Either way, when you begin,
you will be inside of the pachinko parlor. You can talk to the various
people, or you can sit at any of the stools and choose to play that pachinko
machine. Each machine has 2000 balls, and your goal is to play and win them
all, thus clearing the machine. The ultimate goal, of course, is to clear
every machine in the parlor. Once you do that, you will have to play one
final machine belonging to King Pachinko! Complete that final stage and the
game will be complete!

When you go to a machine initially, you will have 100 balls (even if your
total tally is more than that). If you run out of balls at the machine, you
will walk away (or get a game over screen if that was all you had left). In
the northern area of the parlor, you will find a woman behind a counter. Talk
to her and she will give you the password allowing you to continue from that
point at a later time if necessary.

====================
How to Play Pachinko
====================

Pachinko is basically a vertical pinball machine which players use tiny metal
balls to play. It is also a heavily popular form of gambling in Japan, which
explains why there are so many of these games on this and other systems!
Anyway, the game board has a layout with nails sticking out, which the metal
balls bounce off of or fall in between, in order to traverse the board. Also
on the board are certain compartments where if a metal ball falls into it,
you will receive points. If a ball makes it to the bottom of the board
without landing in anything, you lose that ball (and a point). Initially, you
start off with 100 balls (points).

In this game, on the bottom-right area is a ring-shaped button with a smaller
circle inside of it. This is the pressure control for launching the pachinko
balls into the game board above. Use the Left/Right buttons to turn the knob,
increasing or decreasing the pressure, allowing the metal balls to go
shorter/farther with each shot.

It is a good idea to continually fire balls while adjusting the pressure so
you can have the best idea of what settings you like the most. Personally, I
find that the best approach is to subtly move the pressure knob in the
bottom-right corner until you start winning, then move it back and forth a
couple of notches in that same area to keep the streak going. If you lose the
streak, just keep moving the knob around until you hit it again.

============
99,999 Balls
============

Start by going to any pachinko machine and running through your stash of
balls (the key here is NOT to win). Watch your ball counter deplete, and the
instant it hits zero, press Select to go to the menu. Choose the second
option (leave the game), and walk away from the game. When you go to play at
another machine, you will have 99,999 balls!
