Dream Shopper
梦幻购物
Dream Shopper is an arcade action game released by Sanritsu in 1982. Players control a character moving through a multi-floor shopping environment, collecting items while avoiding enemies. The gameplay involves navigating between floors using ladders or elevators, grabbing goods from store shelves before enemies intercept. Enemy characters pursue the player across the playfield, requiring constant movement and planning to avoid capture. The screen is divided into multiple horizontal levels connected by vertical passages, giving the game a platformer-like structure without traditional jumping mechanics. Players must clear each stage by collecting all designated items within a time limit, with difficulty increasing as stages progress and enemies move faster. The game uses a simple joystick-based control scheme suited to arcade cabinet play.
