TUSKER
VARIOUS, 1989
■ Thematically influenced by Indiana Jones films with gameplay inspired by System 3’s Last Ninja titles, Tusker is side-on with flick-screen levels, but allows a certain amount of movement into and out of the screen. It has some very interesting combat thanks to its eclectic weapons, but its greatest deviation from the Ninja games comes from the stiff challenge of its puzzles. More specifically, it can be unclear which objects overcome which obstacles, although this depends on your general knowledge.
