A super-rare find just popped up online; The Japanese live-action adaptation of the recently added to Nintendo Switch Online 'Mysterious Murasame Castle'!
The TV special was an episode of the series 'Onyanko Club Drama Land' which was an anthology series that featured a different member of the Jpop group Onyanko Club in every episode, this particular episode was a loose adaptation of the Famicom Disk System game 'Nazo no Murasame Jo / Mysterious Murasame Castle' and premiered on December 8th, 1986. It was never re-broadcast, and was believed to be "lost media" (according to Wikipedia) until the episode was uploaded to YouTube.
Super-interesting to hear the game's sound effects and even music used in certain parts, and as this aired in 1986, this makes it the FIRST live action adaptation of a video game, pre-dating the Super Mario Bros movie from 1993.
