Who Framed Roger Rabbit (USA)

The game Who Framed Roger Rabbit (USA) for NES is an action-adventure title based on the popular animated film of the same name. Players assume the role of private detective Eddie Valiant, who is tasked with clearing Roger Rabbit's name of murder charges.

The game begins with Eddie receiving news of the case. You will need to explore various locations within Toontown and 1940s Los Angeles. The core gameplay revolves around finding clues, collecting items, and interacting with numerous familiar characters from the movie, including Jessica Rabbit, Baby Herman, and other cartoon characters.

One of the main mechanics involves collecting special items. Eddie can use these items to solve puzzles or help him overcome obstacles. For instance, you might need a key to unlock a door, or a specific item to persuade a character to provide information.

The game also features light action elements. Eddie will encounter the Toon Patrol Weasels, enemies he can defeat by throwing items or using his fists. There is a health bar displaying Eddie's well-being, and if it depletes, the game ends.

Additionally, there are driving segments where Eddie controls his car to travel between different areas. These segments often require players to dodge obstacles and enemies on the road.

The ultimate goal is to gather enough evidence to identify the true mastermind and bring them to justice, thereby saving Roger Rabbit. The game requires players to think logically, explore thoroughly, and sometimes rely on a bit of luck to find hidden clues. With its 8-bit graphics and characteristic NES sound, Who Framed Roger Rabbit offers a unique experience, combining adventure, puzzle-solving, and action within a colorful cartoon world.
