Menace Beach (USA) (Unl)

In Menace Beach, players take on the role of Johnny, a skateboarder whose girlfriend, Lisa, has been kidnapped by a ninja named Fuzzie. Johnny's mission is to navigate through challenging levels to rescue Lisa. This is a side-scrolling platformer where you control Johnny as he moves, jumps over obstacles, and battles various enemies such as ninjas, punks, and aggressive dogs. Johnny can use his skateboard not only for movement but also as a weapon to attack opponents. Each stage is designed with numerous traps and foes, requiring players to have quick reflexes and precise timing for jumps. At the end of some levels, there will be intense boss battles. The game is known for its high difficulty, demanding persistence and mastery of control skills from the player. The "Unl" (Unlicensed) version of Menace Beach also gained notoriety for some controversial, suggestive imagery in its cutscenes. To progress in the game, Johnny needs to collect specific items or keys. The gameplay of Menace Beach focuses on a blend of action, skateboarding, and light environmental puzzling, offering a unique experience on the NES system.
