Adventure Island (Japan) ROM

Adventure Island is a 2d Side Scrolling Platforming Shooter. The objective of this game is to navigate the level whilst destroying enemies with your various types of weaponry, and collecting pieces of fruit crucial to continued survival. Like in other platformers, you are timed. But you can (and must) collect the pieces of fruit to extend your countdown. Collecting the fruit, however does not replenish health, and if you are unfortunate enough to be struck by enemies it's over in a hurry. That sounds like a tall order even for a pro, but truth be told even the most casual of gamers will get the hang of this one rather quickly. The game boasts beautiful 16 bit graphics, and though repetitive, some of gaming's most iconic themes. It is one of the most fun games on ANY system it has been released on. I would recommend this game to anyone.
