Mindseeker

Mindseeker is a 1989 adventure game for Famicom. The player trains under Masuaki Kiyota to develop their ESP and psychic abilities. Masuaki Kiyota was a famous psychic in the 70's known for bending metal and for psychic photography. It seems that part of the marketing ploy was to promise the development of psychic skills to those who purchased and played the game. The game teased and tested the players into believing that they too could have the powers of Masuaki Kiyota if they fine tuned their ESP senses with this game. Interesting enough, this game was released 5 years after Kiyota admitted that he has cheated and used fraudulent techniques to perform his feats.
