Wolverine (video game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolverine was the title of an LJN video game released for the NES. The side-scrolling action game had the player controlling the popular Marvel Comics super hero through various stages in an effort to defeat the villains, such as Sabertooth and Magneto, that had kidnapped Wolverine and trapped him on a deserted island.

Other X-Men characters, such as Jubilee, Havok, and Psylocke, were hidden in secret rooms throughout the levels and could offer advice or aid if found.

Wolverine's basic moves were jumping, ducking, punching and kicking. He could bring out his trademark powerful claws with a push of the Select button, but every time the claws were used his energy was depleted. Unlike many other NES games where following being hit, one's character would have a few seconds of invincibility, energy in this game went down quickly with only burger and soft drink icons to replace one's health.
