What's this NES game?

[SoulBlazer]

I'm trying to recall a NES game that I rented as a kid.

I really don't recall much about it. I was sick that weekend and hardly played the game, and what I recall must be viewed through the haze of burning fever and throwing up every hour. :P

I can recall that you played as a warewolf, and could climb on walls and the like. The game also came with a comic, that set up the back story -- a NASA scientist on a vacation in the west unlocked an anicent evil spirt by accident, and he used his influence to have a shuttle spread some kind of mutant goo over the world, taking it over. The main charcter was a native american able to harness the powe of the wolf and set out to stop him.

I'd like to try it again, with a emulator and save states (as I recall it being a hard game) but that's about all I can recall of it.

Sounds like Werewolf: The Last Warrior.

I'll check it out when I get home later.

Was it any good? Who made it? (See how fragile my memory is? )

Who made it?

Greenpeace?

I remember this game...I remember it being OK, slightly better than most crap..but not outstanding. I think I have a few copies of that comic lying around....It was a DC comic, if I remember correctly. I should pick it up again....I honestly don't remember a great deal much about it..maybe its actually a great game, if you get into it! <makes mental note to play Werewolf...)

Here's the ad (submitted by me!). The ad was actually yellow though. For some reason my scanner took it as white.

[Cauterize]

oh i love old ads! pure classics!

Yeah, I like the game. The levels get difficult toward the end though, and I think you have a limited amount of continues. Otherwise I would have finished it by now.

A free comic came with the game. I have a scanned version on my website somewhere.

Takara.

But Data East released it stateside.

I heard somewhere that in this game, the werewolf attacks by flipping his opponents off...

Seriously, his attack animation is an extended arm which isn't very well-modeled. Ergo, it looks like there's not a hand on the end of the arm, and it looks like a big finger or tentacle giving some variety of an obscene gesture...

Which is why I have to find this game and play it. NOW.

[stargate]

is it truly more action than a cartridge can hold?

[SoulBlazer]

Well, that's why I'd play it on a emulator -- and the handy Godsend known as save states.

it's actually seven ounces of action under the limit for cartridge-based media. they just lied and hoped nobody would measure.

If you look at the ad, The werewolf's forarm/hands turn into a blade. For quickflesh-tearing action.

I love this game. It is fun, but, pretty hard. I beat it once as a id, have yet to do it again. The level with the Ninjas is very hard.
