Neclos Fortress

Neclos Fortress (ネクロスの要塞, Necros no Yousai/Fortress of Necros) was another bonus pack-in product from Lotte in the late 80’s – this time, these were chocolate treats with a monochromatic mini-figure and cards. Said cards take a similar form factor to their Bikkuriman stickers. Beyond the collection aspect though, there’s a full-on role playing game that can be played with these.

Popular with collectors, it’s also built up a following outside of Japan in recent years, meaning there’s already sites that have it covered much better than I could. So without further ado:

Aside from that though, Lotte also put out a Neclos Fortress ice cream bar, which included more traditional Bikkuri-style stickers.

Further packaging and collection images can be found here (also where the right photo is from), as well as at Green-Head.net.

Video Game

An RPG for the PC Engine came out in 1990, known in particular for its fast and flashy battle scenes.
