The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is an action-platformer that's based on the 1876 book of the same name.
+ Keeps track of your times for each level and totals them, which is a nice idea to encourage speed running.
- Stage design is basic in terms of layouts, and many areas have objects that appear to be randomly placed.
- Level 6 has foes that suddenly appear in front of you and annoying leaps of faith that lead directly onto enemy sprites.
- Includes glitches (e.g. getting stuck on platform edges) and there's some slowdown that makes the action / music crawl.
- Bosses (including mid-level ones) are complete pushovers and barely put up a fight while you spam the attack button.
- For a 1989 release, the art style is painfully simplistic and what's here looks more like an early NES Black Box title.
