Osomatsu-kun Hachamecha Gekijou (おそ松くん はちゃめちゃ劇場) is a Sega Mega Drive action game developed by Sega R&D 2 and published by Sega. Based on the Japanese media franchise Osomatsu-kun, it was released exclusively in Japan in December 1988, and alongside arcade ports like Super Thunder Blade and Altered Beast, was the first original game developed for Sega's new 16-bit platform. Notable for its overwhelmingly poor critical reception, the game gained a cult reputation as one of the worst games on the Sega Mega Drive.
As Osomatsu-kun predates the development of the TradeMark Security System, it will only function properly with Japanese or Asian Mega Drive consoles, or model 1 Mega Drive consoles which lack TMSS and does not have a defective RAM (revisions VA1 through VA5.) or with the Game Genie.
he game was universally panned for its short length, maze-like gameplay, frustrating controls, abrasive soundtrack, and frequent crashes (only on Mega Drives with the VA0 revision), and has gained a reputation as one of the worst games on the Sega Mega Drive as well as a cult following as a classic kusoge (shit game).
Fujio Akatsuka, author of the original manga, was outspokenly critical about video games and considered them to be a problem plaguing Japanese youth. After the release of Osomatsu-kun Hachamecha Gekijou, the author was so offended by its poor quality that during a meeting with Sega R&D 2, Akatsuka became enraged and threw an ashtray at one of the developers. Confirmed by multiple employees of both Sega and SIMS (which many Osomatsu-kun staff later migrated to), the story of Akatsuka's thrown ashtray spread to other employees within the company, and eventually to the gaming public.
