I'm not
sure why this game is called
Knuckles in China Land, but it's a learning
game for practicing your Japanese characters--Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji--or your Japanese, Indonesian, or German
vocabulary. The game stars Knuckles from the Sonic the Hedgehog games (unlicensed, I'm sure) and takes the form of a
traditional RPG, except that instead of fighting battles with monsters, you must master characters and vocabulary
words. It comes with libraries which include thousands of characters and words, but if you want more it also has a
Vocabulary Editor to add your own.

Don't think anyone would be looking for links to this game. Sounds like this should be today's time waster.

we'll see how civilized a place DlS is -- when this got posted on Digg it touched off a landslide of inconcolable whiners, eye-rolling otaku, and the token i-live-in-japan-so-i'm-an-expert
exchange wapanese.
i think the bottom line is, the game is unfortunately pretty poorly done, with no sound, and rather unintuitive gameplay. for people who want to learn japanese but want something that less resembles "study", pick up a copy of the Mangajin's Learning Japanese through Manga.
