Part of a popular series, Mujintou Monogatari (or Mujin Shima Monogatari, whichever you prefer) is an interesting adventure/sim game of "Survival". Stranded on an island with limited resources and lots of unventured territory, your job is to make due with what you have and unlock the mysteries of the island. As the game goes on, you'll be able to form multiple search parties and have an inside look into dungeons, but sending characters on a trip they aren't prepared for can prove fatal. The major characters in order of appearance:

Main Character (A): I was lazy and named him "A", lol. Generally a pretty nice guy with a cool head on his shoulders.

Ayase, Suzune: She is likely the first person you'll find on the island. She's a curious ten year old girl who often travels with the main character. She is also shortly accompanied by a monkey she finds when you go to get Bananas that she names Ururu.

Nakajima, Rika: A fan favorite of the series, you'll first find her in this game in bad shape and a bit dehydrated. She asks for water and you escort her back to your little pad where she rests and hangs out. For the curious, she is twenty-one years of age.

Koyanagi, Erina: You first meet her locked up alone inside of a wooden building. Somewhat bossy, she'll command you to hurry and let her out of the cage, which the main character is reluctant to do at first due to her attitude. Being the big sister of the group, she's twenty-four years of age.

The SNES/SFC has such interesting and diverse titles, even if some of them are ports or adaptations of games on other systems or PC titles. This one is a port/adaptation of the original PC98 game made back in 1994 to my understanding. MM would later get ported to FM-TOWNS in 1995 and then Super Famicom in 1996. The game is known as a "Survivor Life Simulation" and the title roughly means "Uninhabited Island Stories". Enjoy.
