Lester the Unlikely
A side-scrolling platformer for the SNES starring one of the most weak-willed heroes in platformer history. Can Lester find the courage to find a way home?
Overview
Lester the Unlikely, known in Japan as Odekeke Lester: Lelele no Le (^^;, is a comedic side-scrolling platformer developed by Visual Concepts (Company) and published for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Platform) in North America (by DTMC) on January 1994 and in Japan (by Asmik) on September 16, 1994.
From the studio previously known for Harley's Humongous Adventure and the SNES version of We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story, Lester the Unlikely puts players in control of the timid teenager Lester as becomes stranded on a distant tropical island (after accidentally stowing away on a cargo ship that is attacked by pirates) and must find a way back home.
Featuring rotoscopic animation similar to games such as Prince of Persia (Game) and Out of this World, the game is unique for having a playable awkward protagonist who begins the game easily frightened by small animals, heights, and other obstacles (often putting him in a small panic). As the game progresses, he begins to overcome his fears and become more effective at dealing with obstacles.
