Akira

The events of the game (and of the movie) take place in a futuristic city called New Tokyo, which is controlled by corrupted military and rival gangs.

You control Kaneda, the leader of one of such guys, and the main character in the movie.

Kaneda's childhood friend, Tetsuo, is injured during the highway chase, and taken by the military.

While trying to free your friend, you find out a strange power is growing inside him...

The game is a traditional Japanese adventure.

Instead of a menu with set commands, you have different options on each screen.

After watching a cutscene or scrolling through a dialogue, you have several options to choose from.

In many situations, some options will lead to Kaneda's death or imprisonment, which is Game Over.

There are no real puzzles or anything of the sort, but if you choose the "examine" option which is available on most screens, you can move the cursor around the screen and choose what exactly you want to examine.

Akira for Nintendo Entertainment System is currently worth €27.94 loose, €55.74 complete in box, and €177.98 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Akira has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Akira, loose is €27.94 and CIB is €55.74 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
