Little Nemo: The Dream Master Nintendo
Little Nemo is based on a film based on a comic strip from the early 20th century. In it, a young boy from London named Nemo is summoned to the kingdom of Slumberland; a fantasy realm filled with strange creatures and dream-like locations.
Little Nemo: The Dream Master is an NES game that is based on the animated film, Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. Like the film, Nemo travels to Nightmare Land in his dreams to rescue the King of Slumberland, Morpheus, from the King of Nightmares.
Little Nemo: The Dream Master is a side scrolling, puzzle oriented platformer. The object of the various levels is to unlock a door at the end of the stage. Each door has six locks, and the keys are scattered throughout the stage. Stages are not as straightforward as other platformers of the era, and have multiple rooms below and above the primary screen. Nemo has to dive underwater, climb trees, and scale hills (among other obstacles) to reach secret areas within the game.
Alone, Nemo isn't very tough. He can jump, swim, and throw candy (later on, he gets a wand). His candy stun enemies, but other than that, he's vulnerable to take a beating from his foes. There are many areas in the game that are too high or far for Nemo to reach. To progress, Nemo must utilize many animal friends, which live in each of the dreamworlds Nemo travels. Each of the animals will give Nemo a ride, which helps him jump higher, fly across chasms, and fight enemies. In order to get these animals, Nemo must feed these animals some of his candy. Once he has fed them enough, they will fall asleep, and Nemo can hop on their backs.
