The NES Game

Before Rocky and Bullwinkle enter the 16-bet era through Genesis and SNES, they made their video game debut in the 8-bit period through NES. Despite sharing the same title as the Genesis and SNES versions, the NES version has different gameplay and different storyline.

In the NES game, the story starts where Bullwinkle finds out that some late rich relative of his has cash waiting for him to collect. As he sets off with his buddy Rocky to collect his cash, obstacles on the way include some villainous couple who will try to steal it. In playing the game, the player controls Bullwinkle but can also switch to Rocky. Both playable characters attack enemies by hurling bombs.

I for one am not a fan of the Rocky and Bullwinkle TV series. I don't think I'm interested in seeing any of the episodes either. While Rocky has a voice that isn't very authentic due to being played by some old trollop, I'm so happy that I don't get to hear it in this game which lacks voices. While I have played a few NES consoles in the past, I played this game online. During the early times I played this game, things were tricky, and I had to do a lot of saving. Though I completed it, I continued to play the game a few more times. But as I got better over several weeks, I managed to complete the game again but without doing any saving. With regards to the game, it's not perfect, but I do find it enjoyable.

A Challenging Game Based On A TV Series

While reading an online encyclopedia about stuff related to the Rocky and Bullwinkle show, I came across video games featuring the characters. Some time later, I went on to play one of them online.

In the game, Rocky and Bullwinkle are on a quest to find three treasures: one in each of the three themed levels. In the first two levels, the players controls Bullwinkle. In the third level, the player controls Rocky. Talk about saving the more likable character for last. While Rocky is seen flying in the video sequences, I wonder why they didn't make him fly in the game?

Although the video sequences are primitive nowadays as this is a 16-bit game, the colors and adequate graphics still makes them entertaining.
