Super Boy Allan is the second installment in Sunsoft and Asmik's Intelligence Game trilogy. It is preceded by Adian no Tsue (1986), and followed by Chitei Tairiku Orudora (1987).[2]

In the game, Allan Colada journeys from his home in the foothills into the mountains to retrieve a remedy for his sister Leela's fever.

Gameplay

To progress through most game screens, the player must push, kick, or pull logs to clear a path to the exit, as well as to solve arithmetic equations and inequality statements involving fractions.[3]

The mechanics of the log-pushing puzzles are comparable to those in the Eggerland video game franchise, which in turn derive from Sokoban (1982). However, by using a rope (which are in limited supply), Allan can also pull a log away. Kicking a log toward an enemy defeats the enemy.

The design of the game world is patterned on Nintendo's action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda (1986).

gollark: Yes. I would add functions if I *needed* them.
gollark: See, Minoteaur is technically public but entirely without support, so if I somehow need to change a thing, I'll just dump the database, manually edit the SQL dump, fix the migrations, make a new database, and load it back in.
gollark: It doesn't have a way to revert migrations because I never actually make mistakes.
gollark: Nim.
gollark: There's an array of SQL scripts a bit above it.
