It's a cute game but unless you can read Japanese there's not much of interest. It's a pretty standard fishing game just given some charm with it's cartoony characters and writing by Itoi.

I think it's important to note the Rumfoord also forced his own childish beliefs and behaviors on the Martian people and saw himself as a prophetic figure. I think those aspects are seen in Porky. Porky in M3 is obsessed with M2 and is desperate to find "fun" again. He may not see himself as a prophet necessarily but he does see himself as above other humans. It may also be looking to much into it but I think Rumfoord and Malachi may be reflected in Porky and Ness a bit.
