Released by Scholar in 1996, Minami no Shima ni Buta ga Ita ~Lucas no Daibouken~ (roughly: The Pig of South Island: Lucas’ Great Adventure) sees you control a portly pig.
Following an early misadventure, you must now search the island and find all of your missing piglets. You do this by challenging some 36 levels which alternate between some very 16-bit looking side-scrolling stages, and all manner of logic puzzles.
An extremely unusual combination that makes this a difficult game to categorize. Beware — this game requires patience, and brains. Brains!
Interesting! Never heard of this portly game before! 😅
