You play as a chubby man who has to save his soul mate. In the Adventure Island game, you will not be able to pass the level slowly and be careful on every obstacle because you need to meet the time allotted for the level. To increase its quantity, you need to collect various fruits. You can also lose time by bumping into a rock. Another interesting solution is auxiliary items. For example, a skateboard, boomerang, and so on.

"Adventure Island" is a very famous game series. It was originally an adaptation of Sega's "Wonder Boy" game ("Adventure Island" was made by agreement with "Sega").

We control the character Master Higgins (in the Japanese version - Takahashi Meijin), whose girlfriend Tina (Tina) was kidnapped by the evil king Quiller (Quiller). To save the girl, the main character needs to go through 8 large worlds, divided into 4 stages each. After every fourth stage, you will need to meet with the boss.

The game is a classic arcade platformer, and is the benchmark of the genre. Each stage must be completed as soon as possible, because we are very limited in time. Life and time is replenished by collecting bonuses. Initially, the hero has nothing of the weapons, but as the game progresses, it will be possible to pick up and use axes or fireballs.

The game was first released on the NES and MSX. Then she already appeared on the GBA, GameCube, Playstation 2 and even the Wii Virtual Channel service.
