Introduce
California Raisins - The Grape Escape (NES) is an officially unreleased platformer that puts players in control of one of the famous raisin characters from the commercials. The main objective is to guide the character through various stages, collecting necessary items, and avoiding obstacles or enemies along the way.
Gameplay focuses on jumping abilities and skillful movement. Players will need to time their jumps precisely to clear gaps, ascend platforms, and access new areas. Occasionally, you might need to use special items or interact with the environment to unlock paths or defeat opponents. Despite being a prototype (Proto 2), the game showcases basic platforming mechanics with challenging elements. Levels typically have a linear structure but may also feature hidden areas or secret items to discover. The music and graphics heavily reflect the 80s style, mirroring the advertising origins of the raisin characters. Players will need patience and skill to complete levels, especially when facing challenges related to timing and movement precision.
