StarTropics

When your vacation to an island in the South Seas is met by the unlikely occurrence of a falling meteor, the adventure of a lifetime begins. Your archaeologist uncle has been kidnapped, and only you can rescue him from a cruel fate. There'll be plenty of village folk to lend assistance, but deadly enemies wait at each step of the journey which will take you from the depths of the jungle to the floor of the ocean. Armed with a yo-yo, a few magic potions, and mysterious island weapons, you'll fight sea monsters, thugs, and bizarre creatures never before seen by human eyes. Are you brave enough to save your uncle?

In StarTropics, you play the part of Michael Jones. Mike's uncle (Dr. Jones, a famous archaeologist) is on C-Island looking for some lost ruins and has invited Mike to come visit him. However, shortly after arriving on the island Mike learns from Chief Coralcola that Dr. Jones has recently been abducted! Now it is up to Mike to locate Dr. Jones and find out why he was abducted.

StarTropics is an action game with light role-playing elements, played from an overhead point of view. Starting out with just an island yo-yo, Mike will need to search the island for Dr. Jones. The villagers may be able to offer some clues, there are many dangerous enemies to defeat, and along the way there are a variety of new weapons and other items to be found which will help Mike on his quest. The cartridge uses a battery backup to allow games to be saved.
