The Smurfs (NES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
312A playthrough of Infogrames' 1994 NES game, The Smurfs.
This Smurfs was a pretty late-gen NES title, and was only produced for PAL territories. I was surprised when i learned that - I loved this game, and I was surprised that it never came out here after we moved back to the states . As a little kid, I seem to remember The Smurfs appearing much more often on American TV than British. Of course, that might have been a consequence of having a whole four channels - the Spice Girls hadn't introduced the fifth yet lol). I think it's a bit sad that much of the world never got to see this, because this game is absolutely superb.
It's a simple, no frills platformer that relies on super-precision jumping (and does it well), but the graphics are really excellent, and that soundtrack is the stuff of legends.
Playing this again was a really happy throwback to my much younger self. To anyone who missed it the first time around, give this a go. It deserves the chance!
