Swamp Thing Nintendo
Action platformer based on the cartoon of the DC comic book. Swamp Thing is out to stop Dr. Arcane's evil Unmen from destroying the planet, and will have to fight his way through Egypt, the Swamp and Antarctica before taking on the doctor himself.
Swamp Thing is an NES and Game Boy game released in late 1992 in Europe and the US, based on the ecological DC character created by Len Wein and Berni Wrightson. Specifically, it is based on the short-lived animated TV show that was airing during this period.
Villain Dr. Arcane successfully detonates a bomb in the lab of young scientist Alec Holland. Rather than destroying his body the explosion, combined with the bio-restorative formula he was working on, mingled with the properties of the swamp waters transform Holland into the Swamp Thing.
In this 2D side scrolling action-platformer Swamp Thing confronts Arkane and his henchmen toward the goal of saving the planet.
There was a separate Genesis version planned, with a different developer, but this was cancelled.
