Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. Look over the photos for condition, packaging and details. 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

It starts with a cipher. Mike Jones and his uncle, Dr. Jones, decode a message found on the Argonians' space pod, read it aloud, and Mike is flung back to the Stone Age. So begins Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II, a sequel that takes the original's island adventure and stretches it across the whole of human history. Guided by telepathic messages from Mica, the Argonian princess, Mike has to recover the scattered Tetrads, mysterious blocks that look an awful lot like Tetris pieces, while fending off three clones of the alien villain Zoda.

Across nine chapters, each one after the first drops Mike into a new era with its own enemies, bosses, puzzles and items: ancient Egypt, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Wild West and Victorian England among them. Along the way he crosses paths with Cleopatra, King Arthur, Merlin, Leonardo da Vinci and Sherlock Holmes, and his arsenal reflects the journey, from Cleopatra's Bronze Dagger to Leonardo's Katana. Merlin teaches Mike the upgradable Psychic Shock Wave, and some enemies react differently depending on which weapon you use.

The biggest change from the first game is how Mike moves. The original locked him to a strict grid in its dungeons; here he walks in eight directions and can change direction in mid-jump, which makes combat and exploration feel far freer. Genyo Takeda produced and wrote it and co-directed with Makoto Wada, and it was developed by Nintendo R&D3 with Locomotive Corporation and released in North America in March 1994. Reviews at the time were mixed to positive, and later reappraisals on Virtual Console were much warmer.

It also holds a special place in NES history as the second-to-last first-party game Nintendo released for the system, a big, ambitious adventure arriving well into the Super Nintendo era. When it was reissued on Virtual Console, the Tetrads were renamed "Blocks," so the original cartridge is the way to play Mike's time-hopping finale exactly as it first appeared.
