Adventure Island Classic - NES - EN

In the South Pacific, Master Higgins lives peacefully, wearing only a grass skirt and a cap. That is, until the evil witch doctor decides to capture Tina and keep her as his own. It's up to Master Higgins to collect throwing axes, fireballs and skateboards to support his noble endeavour. The game is a side-scroller, Master Higgins moves from left to right across the screen and finds his power-ups in giant eggs. This also includes a skateboard that increases speed - until Master Higgins is hit and loses his power. When not on a skateboard, a single hit means instant death. Another game mechanic is hunger, indicated by a gauge that steadily decreases. If the gauge reaches zero, the hero dies, and the only way to replenish the gauge is by collecting food along the way. Bosses await him at the end of the levels, culminating in the Evil Witch Doctor himself.
