Abobo be the large bald man in Double Dragon, the perpetually angry 'n brutal swine whose car-sized fists be the doom a many an intrepid sprite-puncher. Browser-based mini-epic Abobo’s Big Adventure isn’t a Double Dragon rehash though – it starts that way but it soon becomes apparent that it’s actually a homage t' the NES itself, with a variety a easily recognisable worlds, enemies 'n play styles. It’s a joy t' play, although nearly as tough as an actual NES game at times. Because a lot a the fun lies in discovering the sheer amount 'n variety a stuff that’s packed in there I’m tempted t' recommend playing it immediately rather than watching the trailer below. There be more surprises that way.
