Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Summary

Tom Sawyer’s legendary literary escapades are brought to life in this adventure where you take on the role of Tom Sawyer—or Huck Finn in a two-player game. The journey kicks off in Tom’s dream as he dozes off in class. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a platform game launched for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989. While the game doesn’t directly follow the plot of Mark Twain’s novel, it features characters from the book. Gameplay in this classic platformer involves jumping and tossing rocks. Dodge various obstacles like rolling barrels and overcome persistent foes such as pirates, mice, and even a massive octopus. Guide Tom along the Mississippi River, through dense forests, eerie haunted houses, and the open sky above.

Storyline

Tom Sawyer is in a dream where he must rescue Becky from Injun Joe, journeying through six levels to reach her. Along the way, he faces a variety of creatures, such as a massive octopus, a huge alligator in the Mississippi River, ghosts and ghouls in a haunted house, and a dragon. He awakens from the dream in his classroom in Missouri, where he discovers a single feather on his desk that once belonged to Injun Joe. The game never clarifies whether the events were real or just part of the dream.
