One-Day Play #20 - Hudson's Adventure Island (NES)
2When Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. became the unicorn that almost singlehandedly saved the video game industry following the famous crash of 1983, every other designer jumped on board with their own version of the Italian plumbers.
Most came off as blatantly derivative and nowhere near as well-executed. But Hudson Soft took the basic skeleton of the 2D platforming game and gave it a distinctive Polynesian flair, while also cranking up the difficulty to 11.
'Adventure Island' isn't a complicated game, but it is a highly challenging one. It'll test your patience and reflexes in order to navigate all eight worlds on just three lives.
While it does indeed qualify as a 'One-Day Play' by virtue of lacking saves or continues, it'll truly be an achievement for anyone who sees it through to the end!
