Description

"Dallyeora Pigu-Wang" (which translates to "Run, Pig King!") is a lesser-known platform video game developed by Sega for the Sega Mark III console, primarily focused on the South Korean market. Released in 1987, the game centers around the adventures of a quirky pig character, colloquially known as the Pig King. Players guide the Pig King through various levels that involve not only platform jumping but also battling opponents and overcoming obstacles to rescue the Pig King’s subjects from an array of menacing enemies.

The gameplay mechanics of "Dallyeora Pigu-Wang" are reminiscent of other platformers of the time, incorporating run-and-jump action with a few unique aspects tailored to the character’s porcine theme. Special abilities include using the Pig King’s snout to perform attacks and his rotund shape to roll through barriers and squash foes. The game is noted for its distinctively cheery graphics and soundtracks, which added an element of humor and charm that appealed to its target audience. "Dallyeora Pigu-Wang” stands out in video game history not only for its engaging gameplay but also as a cultural artifact, reflecting the burgeoning gaming industry's attempts to tailor content to specific regional markets during the 1980s.
