Adventure Island for the NES,the whoas of a Islander
Adventure Island is a side scrolling platformer published and developed by Hudson Soft.In the game you control a chubby islander named Master Higgins,the Charlie Brown of the 8-bit generation,this poor soul is doomed to live a life of perpetual never ceasing running(and still remain quite fat),he must also keep eating fruit or else he will die,his girl,seemingly,the only other person on his island is kidnapped by a King,and he has to face hoards of cobras,crows,crabs,fat dancing kitties,rougue camp fires apperantly set by these creatures ,bats ,and the occasional buff cyclops to rescue her,poor guy his cap probably hides his male pattern baldness.
Seemingly ,the only things he has going for him is that he is able to wield merciless tomahawks,has sweet skateboarding skills and that his lady is a babe ,a pixelated stone cold fox,and lets not forget to mention the star of a pretty good platformer.
The controls in adventure island are pretty loose as far as the physics of jumping/landing but the platforming isnt to difficult so it might be for added challange.the backgrounds and sprites are detailed as far as 8-it goes and not to mention bright and colorful fitting seing as to you are an %*# &$(#* island.although the boss battles are kinda reptitive,and the learning curve is pretty steep i give this a 4/5 and comes recomended to those seeking a good 8-bit platformer.
