"The Adventure Island and Wonder Boy series have a long shared history so let's explore both franchises and see which one's best." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
A.J. says: "When it comes to fast-paced retro platformers, very few games stand out in my memory as being as enjoyable as Adventure Island. Pull up your grass skirt, grab a stone axe, and let's eat as much fruit as our stomachs can handle!"
I used to wake up watch Saturday morning cartoons and as soon as Looney Toons was over turn this game on until my parents woke up... Ohhhh to be 5 again.

In Adventure Island you play as Mater Higgins who must traverse through four worlds, each with four levels, to defeat the evil King Quiller, who has kidnapped the love of your life, Tina. It's a basic sidescroller with tons of weapons at your disposal to dispatch enemies all the way to the goal. But it's not as simple as just speeding through the levels and moving on. Higgins is, well, fat, so he must eat in order to keep his stamina up. Food is scattered through the level and you must pick it up in order to keep Higgins going."
