Item Condition
Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. For the specifics, look to the photos — they're of this exact cartridge. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.
Item Description
Here is a little piece of Game Boy trivia that makes this cartridge more interesting than its title suggests: despite the plain Adventure Island name, it is not a port of Master Higgins' first outing at all. It is a handheld version of the NES's Adventure Island II, and that means the dinosaurs came along for the ride.
The setup is pure Hudson. Higgins, the grass-skirted hero modeled on the company's famous spokesman Takahashi Meijin, sets off after his girlfriend Tina, who has been kidnapped by the Evil Witch Doctor's persistent followers. Fruit keeps his energy meter from running dry, eggs hide stone hammers and other surprises, and the stages race from sunny island paths to snowy mountains, underwater stretches and lava fields, with the occasional vertical climb mixing things up.
The mounts are what make it worth playing. Two bipedal dinosaurs each bring their own attack, one swinging its tail and the other spitting fireballs while strolling through lava without a scratch. A swimming Elasmosaurus makes the underwater stages far less treacherous, and the rare Pterodactyl lets you flap over trouble and drop rocks on enemies below. Clever players will love the inventory system: finish a stage while holding a hammer or riding a dinosaur and you can bank it, then call it up at the start of a tougher level later on.
The Game Boy hardware gives everything a chunkier, blockier look than on the NES, and the familiar music comes through in a higher, chirpier register, but the level designs and power-ups are reproduced closely enough that it feels like the real thing in your pocket. It is a fun handheld curiosity for Adventure Island fans, and a satisfying way to play the dinosaur-riding sequel on original Nintendo hardware without a television.
