Description

Bakushō Jinsei 64: Mezase! Resort Ō, also known as "Bakusou Jinsei 64" and "Let's Become The Resort King!" is a video game designed for the Nintendo 64 console, rooted in the popular Japanese board game genre often associated with the Game of Life series. Developed by Taito and released exclusively in Japan in 1998, the game translates the traditional board game experience to a virtual format, where players navigate around a board aiming to become successful resort managers. The gameplay involves strategy and luck, as players roll dice to move around the board, acquire properties, and enhance their resorts to attract visitors and generate wealth.

The game includes various squares on the board which trigger different gameplay mechanics, such as chance cards, economic changes, and other unexpected events that affect the players’ fortunes. Unique to this version is its setting and theme centered around building and managing resort properties, which offers a fresh take compared to more traditional settings in similar games. Multiplayer aspects allow for competitive play amongst friends, making it a social game that encourages interaction. While "Bakushō Jinsei 64: Mezase! Resort Ō" was never released outside of Japan, its integration of business simulation within the resort industry niche, combined with the classic life simulation gameplay, makes it a distinctive and enjoyable title for fans and collectors of N64 games.
