An NES adaptation of Atari's 1985 arcade action game based on the 1984 movie. Originally given a licensed release by Mindscape in 1988, Tengen self-published an unlicensed version a year later (though the ROMs are nearly identical).

Though the game is based on the arcade game, it also features several gameplay mechanics that were changed. Some of these include an end to the game, cut levels, and different level design.

Unused Music

One of the four songs in the game is Slalom on Mt. Humol. This was used in the arcade version when you're chasing Mola Ram down the rope bridge, but not in this version.
