Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun - SNES - DE

The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun is based on the Belgian comic book of the same name. The basic storyline is the same: Professor Cuthbert Calculus is kidnapped and the player must rescue him in the role of Tintin. The rest is somewhat looser: unlike the comic, which is mainly set in Peru, this game offers many different locations around the world. The gameplay itself is a typical jump'n'run action: Tintin runs through the levels while avoiding enemies. Pretty much everyone, e.g. little girls and security guards, is out to get Tintin, who cannot defend himself. This means that the most important aspect is to learn the positions of enemies and their patterns and know how to avoid them. But he must hurry, as time is limited. The key to success is the use of two game planes: from the player's perspective in the foreground and further in the background. Tintin can switch between the two at any time.
