Gourt Home::Gourt :: Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II
Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II is a video game released in 1994 by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System as the sequel to the 1990 game, StarTropics. It is the second to the last licensed game released on the NES, Wario's Woods being the last.
The game's main character, Mike Jones, went to visit his uncle, Dr. Steve Jones, who was now living in Seattle. Dr. Jones was hard at work researching when Mike found a history book on his desk. On the book were some magic words and as he said them, he was transported through time to the past.
Zoda's Revenge runs through nine chapters, although the first is story-only. Each chapter besides the first takes place in a different time and place and holds one or more bosses, multiple areas, many weapons, medicine, obstacles and puzzles. And while the original StarTropics took place almost exclusively on a series of tropical islands, its sequel takes place in a variety of locales, such as Ancient Egypt, the Wild West and Medieval England.
During the game, Mike meets many important historical and fictional figures throughout his journey through time. These consist of Cleopatra, Merlin, Sherlock Holmes, Leonardo da Vinci and King Arthur, who help him to achieve his goal, finding the tetrads (Tetris pieces) and defeating Zoda's three clones.
Unlike the original, Mike is no longer limited to moving in "squares", and now can move in 8 different directions. He now uses various swords, including katanas and magic attacks that he learns from Merlin, as opposed to the yo-yos he had in the first game.
