Overview
Description

The Adventures of Captain Comic is a classic 1988 platformer set on the alien world of Tambi. As Captain Comic you explore a massive, non‑linear playfield, gathering power‑ups and searching for three hidden treasures. Armed with Blastola Cola cans that let you hurl fireballs, you battle deadly creatures while upgrading your offensive and defensive abilities. The single‑player experience blends shooter, action, and sci‑fi elements in a retro pixel‑art adventure.

The Adventures of Rad Gravity is a 1990 NES platformer developed by Interplay and published by Activision. Players guide the large‑headed hero Rad through eight bizarre planets, battling enemies with a light‑saber‑like weapon and solving gravity‑defying puzzles. The game is known for its comedic tone, sci‑fi setting, and the iconic reverse‑gravity level on Turvia where everything is upside down. Its retro pixel art and quirky storyline have made it a cult classic among retro gaming fans.
