Item Description
Few comic-book heroes have a stranger origin than Swamp Thing, and THQ's 1992 NES game opens by retelling it in the style of the 1991 animated series that brought DC's walking mass of muck and plant life to television. From there you guide the hero through the Louisiana swamps and beyond, punching through Anton Arcane's forces and lobbing the sludge balls you collect along the way.
The stages leave the bayou behind for a graveyard, a chemical factory, a toxic dump and finally Arcane's laboratory, and the boss lineup pulls straight from the cartoon's rogues' gallery: Arcane's Un-Men, Dr. Deemo, Weedkiller, Skinman and Arcane himself. Developer Imagineering built it on the same engine as The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants, so anyone who spent time with Bart's NES outing will find the side-scrolling rhythm familiar.
Critics in 1992 were not kind. Electronic Gaming Monthly's review panel scored it low, and reviewers pointed to its steep difficulty and slow stretches, so nobody will mistake it for one of the NES's great platformers. Its appeal today is different. Swamp Thing has rarely starred in his own video game: apart from this and a separate Game Boy adventure, a planned Sega Genesis version was canceled, which makes this cartridge his one real shot at home-console stardom.
That gives it a place with DC collectors and with NES players who enjoy the system's licensed oddities. A hero made of swamp, a Louisiana setting you rarely see in 8-bit games and a stubborn, old-school challenge add up to a curio with real personality, and a fun conversation piece next to the bigger superhero games of the era.
