Players take the role of Lupin III (dubbed Cliff in the game) as he follows the plotline of The Castle of Cagliostro with a level based on The Mystery of Mamo. Rather similar to most FMV Laserdisc games, arrows and prompts display on the screen and the player has to press the correct sequence of buttons in time to advance through the level.
