Item Description

Before Cliff Secord straps on a rocket pack, he is a racing pilot, and NovaLogic's Super Nintendo version of The Rocketeer takes that seriously. The game opens not with the jetpack but with a ten-lap air race around an oval course against rival planes, presented in an unusual split view, before the story moves into the pulp adventure of 1938 Los Angeles that made the film a cult favorite.

From there it mixes genres in a way few licensed games of its day attempted. Ground stages put you in the middle of gunfights with the thugs and agents chasing the stolen rocket pack, and the flight sequences finally let Cliff take to the sky as the Rocketeer. The structure follows the film's swing from airfield to action set piece, and it is the jetpack stages that most players remember.

Honesty matters here: critics and players have been tough on it. The opening race in particular has a reputation for being hard to win and harder to read, and the game's ambitions often outrun its execution. That is also what gives it character. It is an early, experimental piece of the Super Nintendo's licensed catalog, made under the Disney banner while developers were still working out what the new console could do, and its odd blend of racing, shooting and flight is unlike anything else on the system.

For fans of the film and its Art Deco, matinee-serial style, it is a fascinating curiosity, and for collectors chasing Disney-licensed games from the early nineties, it fills a slot that few other cartridges can.
