Game Party is a game published by Coconuts Japan Entertainment Co., Ltd., which was released in Japan in 1990 for the Nintendo Famicom.

The player must earn money in order to become the wealthiest gambler in the world. The game, set in New York City, is considered a spin-off from the Pachio-kun franchise. Al Capone has a cameo role in this game even though he lived about one thousand miles to the west (Chicago) in real life. Roads, taxis and automobiles are not portrayed in the game. However, a black limousine that escorts the player from the air force base to the final casino is portrayed as driving on grass. This is in direct opposition to the real New York City where the majority of the surface is concrete (either as roads, parking lots, or as foundations for the buildings). Only parks and some older residential districts use grass in their design in the real world. Buildings are either shown as dilapidated tenements, shiny towers, or as flashy casinos.

The second NES Pachio-kun game, about a sentient pachinko ball that loves playing pachinko. It was published by Coconuts Japan. Pachiokun 2 is the sequel to Pachiokun, and was also published by slot machine manufacturer Coconuts Japan as well as developed by contract developers Marionette and C Dream. As with the first game, the goal is to help a sentient pachinko ball named Pachio-kun bankrupt a series of pachinko parlors and liberate all his miniature brethren from their flashy mechanical gulags. The game introduces Pachio-kun's wife, presumably named Pachio-chan. If she's upset about her husband's gambling addiction, she never shows it.

At the beginning of the game the player is given an incomplete mahjong hand with one missing tile. They are then shown the tile that will complete their hand and locating that tile is the goal of the pinball game. When the tile is found the game ends immediately. The players now completed hand will determine their final score as their score from pinball will be multiplied by the strength of their hand. It features racing and sci-fi themed tables among others.
