Item Description

Jake and Elwood have a show to play, and the police are not about to make it easy. Titus France's take on The Blues Brothers turns the 1980 cult comedy into a cartoon platformer: in their black suits, hats and sunglasses, the brothers dodge cops and assorted vigilantes across six levels, each hiding a piece of gear the band needs, like a guitar, on the way to a final level that ends on stage.

Your best friend is a box. Pick one up, carry it along, and hurl it at whoever is coming at you, then grab the next one and keep moving. Each level is a variation on the jumping theme, with as much searching and jumping as fighting, since the item you need is tucked away somewhere in the stage. The music by Dimitris Yerasimos draws on the film's soundtrack, and the theme is an electronic arrangement of the Peter Gunn theme, a perfect fit for two brothers on a mission from the band.

Titus first released the game on home computers in 1991, where it won real admirers (Zzap!64 later ranked the Commodore 64 version among that machine's best games), then brought it to the NES and Game Boy in 1992. NES reviewers were more lukewarm than the computer press, so this isn't a lost masterpiece. It is, though, a charming and offbeat licensed game, and a rare 8-bit adventure built around a blues band. Titus brought the brothers back for The Blues Brothers: Jukebox Adventure on the Super NES.

For a movie that's all about getting the band back together, it's fitting that its NES game plays like a scavenger hunt for the band's gear, with a concert waiting at the end. It's a fun piece of early-1990s licensed gaming and an easy conversation starter next to the rest of a movie-game shelf.
