I'm Sorry, known in Japan as Gonbee no I'm Sorry (ごんべえのあいむそ〜り〜), is a Sega System 1 arcade maze game developed by Coreland and manufactured by Sega. Based on and satirizing the political corruption of Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka, and notably featuring the politician in the game's starring role, it was first released in Japan in April 1985, and was surprisingly localized and brought to the United States later that year.
Gameplay
I'm Sorry is one of the more bizarre Sega arcade games. It stars Kakuei Tanaka, the former Prime Minister of Japan and satirizes his greed by making him collect gold bars. Enemies include Japanese wrestler Giant Baba, pop sensations Michael Jackson and Madonna, Japanese comedian Tamori and former American track and field athlete Carl Lewis. The name of the game is a play on the Japanese word "Sori", which means "Prime Minister".
Kakuei Tanaka can jump over obstacles and punch people. The object of the game is to navigate a maze, collect gold bars and take them to a goal without being killed.
History
Despite the heavy emphasis on Japanese satire, an English version was made for the export market, however this version of the PCB is even rarer than the Japanese original.
