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

Hank Ketcham's cowlicked troublemaker has been driving Mr. Wilson up the wall since 1951, and in 1993 the feud hit movie theaters, with Mason Gamble as Dennis, Walter Matthau as the long-suffering neighbor and Christopher Lloyd as the grubby drifter Switchblade Sam. Ocean, the Manchester publisher behind a run of early-nineties film adaptations including The Addams Family and Jurassic Park, brought that version of the story to the Super Nintendo the same year as a side-scrolling platformer.

Dennis bounds through stages inspired by the movie's small-town settings, hopping past hazards and dealing with enemies using the sort of improvised ammunition only a professional prankster carries. The bright, cartoon look leans into the comic strip's sunny suburban Americana, and the light, playful music suits a hero in overalls far better than heroics would.

It was never Ocean's most famous license, and it does not pretend to be anything more than a cheerful family platformer. That is a big part of its charm today. Tie-ins like this are snapshots of a very specific moment, when a John Hughes-written family comedy could land on a 16-bit cartridge within months of its theatrical run and give kids a chance to play the menace themselves.

It makes a fun, lighthearted pickup for a Super Nintendo licensed-game shelf, and a natural companion to the other Ocean film adaptations of the era.
