i have no idea who asked for a video game about an obscure early 20th century comic strip, but there you go
>inb4 muh reruns
i remember thinking the title sounded interesting but never got around to playing it
>>12474586Yes. Reruns. Surely you're not implying that Gilligan's Island was somehow obscure in 1990.
>>12474593a show that was on 25 years ago was not a comic strip from 80 years ago even your grandparents likely didn't remember lol
>>12474580..It had a recent animated film adaptation, though it was still Japan-only at the time the game released.
>>12474580It's based on the anime movie that was released in 1989, that's why it credits TMS (the animation studio). Check the arcade game too.
>>12474580the game coincided with a new anime that bombed. it was actually an arcade game first before the nes version. information about it is kind of scant but i dont think the arcade was ever released in america. just japan and some places in europe. i looked into it a while back and could not find any images of a real cabinet. just some marquee pics from a recreation or something.
>>12474601I wasn't referring to the OP, just the Gillian thing.
Cute game, maybe a little too cute and aimed at 6-10 yos for my taste.
Is this a new running shitpost?Also there was a recently released movie at the time
>>12474580It was a movie tie-in for the 1989 anime theatrical film release. Japan loves little nemo, the little prince, and other childrens western fantasy. For a movie game it was actually pretty decent on NES.
>>12474736it's Capcom it can't be that bad. just be lucky it wasn't made by Imagineering or something instead.
A cute game, the Famicom version is a collector's item and expensive while US cartridges are cheap. It has Capcom's usual high standards and polish, although the difficulty can be fairly punishing.
movie tie-in and also they just make up settings for games all the time so why the fuck would it upset you if they used an existing public domain ip?
>video game about an obscure early 20th century comic stripIf only we got a Krazy Kat mega man styled platformer
>>12474736>Japan loves little nemoI know they love MoominI never heard them caring about Little Nemo
>>12474580The video game and anime move are a filmication of a surreal, newspaper comic strip about the dreams of a child, with no coherent story, made from 1905-1911.Something to point out this, movie and videogame, was a big deal in Japan. It was the start of cute childish dream land mangas, animes and videogames.>>12474614This
>>12474665Graphically yes, gameplay wise it's just as difficult as Rockman, though I don't know if all of that were fully intentional, since some of it is due to the awkward sizes and controls of some of the animal forms.
>>12475628>be the first comic ever that basically popularized the medium >not popular with the country that’s only true international soft power is…comics

>>12474580Windsor McCay invented 2D animation as we know it. Anyone who went to art school and made cartoons, anime, or video games knew goddanm well who he was.Also they made a movie at the time and the game was a tie-in for it.
>>12474580It was the commercial tie-in to Running Down a Dream.
>>12474586fester's quest came out a couple years before the '91 addams family moviebut kids still knew the addam's family from reruns and shit
>>12476613Wasn't this made because some boomer from the US branch of Sunsoft had a fever dream?
>>12474614Son of a bitch. . .the filename
Adult Nemo: Return to Dreamland
>>12476994literally the average /vr/ user who peaked at 8 years old and its been downhill ever since
>>12474614>See image>Immediately hit with wave of nostalgiaI had this on vhs in the early 90s and watched the heck out of it. I hadn't thought of that in 30 years. Didn't realize it's Japanese animation until now.Doesn't seem like good fodder for a game, agreed.
