One of my favorite games of all time; I cannot BELIEVE that more people have not played this NES game. The graphics aren’t great, but the controls are spot on. The levels are imaginative, and the boss battles are tense and exciting. The combat is inventive in that you must first shoot enemies with your gun to freeze them and then use your spear on them. There are power-ups to let you jump higher, make your spear longer, and give you cool bullets for your gun. I love this game, and if you’ve got an NES I recommend tracking it down since it isn’t on the Virtual Console yet. Why didn’t this game sell? It probably has something to do with the horrendous box art (see right).
