* [[ThirtySecondsOverTokyo Thirty Seconds Over]] [[JustForPun Tyoko]]: A wildly inaccurate vision of modern-day Japan PlayedForLaughs by two guys who probably never even went there.

** A code needs to be entered on startup, which is built up using six questions within the manual to determine if the character is smart, sexy, or sucker.

''Nippon Safes, Inc.'' gained some recognition in gaming circles at the time and was praised for its zany humour, good graphics and the novelty of Parallaction, with complaints directed to the poor quality of the English translation and a few bugs and obscure puzzles. It received a sequel three years later with ''The Big Red Adventure'', starring the same characters but this time set in a parody of contemporary Russia after the fall of Communism and Soviet Union.
