Game History

Puzzle Boys is Atlus's first and only game for the Famicom Disk system. It is a very late game for the FDS.
It is the direct sequel to Puzzle Boy (aka Kwirk in North America), for the Gameboy, which is Atlus's very first release under their name.
Before Puzzle Boy, Atlus made the extremely popular Namco RPG Digital Devil Monogatari: Megami Tensei which unfortunately was only released in Japan.

The game features 80 puzzle floors in Puzzle Challenge game, plus likely more than 100 puzzle rooms for the 1 Player and Vs. Mode games.
The Vs. Mode is particularly fun and allows you to handicap the better player and choose the number of battles.
I find the game much more fun on an actual NES with a PowerPak which fully supports this FDS title.

Scans

We found some decent scans of the manual. Enjoy! Manual (Disk Writer Version)

I'm not sure if the game was ever released in box or with an in-box manual as no box or alternate box manual images can be found at this time.
