Hachoo! sounds like an extremely forceful sneeze, but it’s actually the unusual title for a 1989 arcade beat-em-up from Jaleco. It’s actually meant to sound like a Chinese karate yell (similar to “hi-ya!”) while the kanji on the title screen indicates it’s meant to be pronounced “ha-chou” and also means something to the effect of “broken omen”. It’s actually somewhat clever since it also reveals the premise, as you’re a martial artist traveling over China, in order to defeat a demon that’s attempting to break free of its stone prison.
