"A very weird game where the hero is a nerd wearing goofy clothes."

This is a very strange game. You play a nerd who is walking at the docks one day. He´s reading a comic when suddenly he feels a sudden urge to take a nap. Unfortunately, in doing so, he ends up on a island somewhere far away. Also, taking into account that he is a total weep, he must venture on his own in the hope of getting back home.

Now, for the tech-specs. The game itself has graphics that would never top Secret of Mana 2´s graphics, but still, I have seen worse. The gameplay is NOT good at all, though. The hero has only physical attacks like kicking and pushing. You can acquire weapons and items which does give this game a little score boost. The hero is afraid of all the enemies, like bats, turtles and much more. Overall, this game is simply too much of the same to really give me any interest. This is a typical ACTION game, with not too much thinking and mostly just getting past levels and scoring points. If you also want to know, this game is so rare that I doubt that you can buy it anymore. If you do own the original cartridge, though, then you would do well by ridding yourself of it.
