Saw it. Played it. LOVED IT.
If you're a fan of video games and everything that dates back to the 80's and the good ol'
NES (
Nintendo Entertainment System, or Famicom in Japan), then you truly owe it to yourself to check out this awesome piece of video game nostalgia -
Abobo's Big Adventure. As the title implies, it stars none other than that big hunk of mass and muscle from the
Double Dragon games, who's out to look for his lost son that's been kidnapped by the bad guys. As you'd expect, nobody messes with Abobo, and this game is a labor of love by fans of these types of games, who have programmed it to be just more than a simple side-scrolling beat 'em up game. Expect all kinds of gameplay that any NES fan will remember, from
Super Mario Bros. to
Legend of Zelda to
Punch Out, and see all the kinds of mischief and mayhem one big dumb lovable guy will go through to save his offspring, with every kind of popculture reference and achievement to boot! Check out the trailer to this adventure!
