A sci-fi/comedy NES adventure game developed and published by Natsume in Japan only.

Touhou Kenbun Roku ("The Travels of Marco Polo") is an adventure game that uses the then-ubiquitous NES adventure game system of having a series of menu commands with which to interact with the world. As a text-heavy Japanese adventure game, some fluency with the language is required in order to play it.

The game depicts a troublemaker sent from the future back to 1275, when Marco Polo was in the midst of his explorations.
