Do you consider yourself a fan of the times of 8-bit video games, and you feel that you are not ready to let them go yet? Then you should know that some good entertainment proposals for computers still survive. And although we have those that have not undergone modifications since their appearance on the market and others have adapted to the new times, few are worth it.

Undoubtedly one of the best options for fun in 8-bit titles for Windows computers that we have today is Abobo's Big Adventure, a title that, as it could not be otherwise, was launched thinking about the NES of Nintendo. If you are an adult who wants to relive those times or a young person who wants to see how their parents were entertained, here you have a title that will keep you attentive for a while.

In this case, specifically, we find ourselves with the story of Abobo, one of the final bosses of Double Dragon, who finds himself in a desperate situation when he learns that some old associates have kidnaped his son. Of course, the objective has to do with eliminating all the obstacles and enemies that appear along the way until finally achieving the little boy's freedom again.

As far as the technical aspect of Abobo's Big Adventure is concerned, we have to be honest, and it's evident in every way that this is a title that somewhat copies things that have worked in other mythical games of the segment like Super Mario Bros or The Legend of Zelda. Anyway, we personify the license to its developers, considering that they sell nothing else at no time, so this kind of homage is appreciated.

Something similar happens when we look at the mechanics of Abobo's Big Adventure, considering that it has some rather classic arcade game elements and others that we could relate to the platformers. In any case, the truth is that for a game that starts from a rather classic idea, we find several elements that denote the effort of the creators to get out of the typical challenges.

However, you must be aware that Abobo's Big Adventure is not a game for small children or adults who may be impressed by violent situations that may not be too common in current titles. And we say this because an example can see the protagonist of this game devouring the head of a child who crosses his path, so we recommend you be aware of these situations.

How about the user interface of Abobo's Big Adventure? That of an 8-bit game, for better or worse. If you have become accustomed to the definition of titles developed for next-generation consoles, you may find that it is not up to par. Still, if you consider that retro games have their charm, we are sure that you will find a visual staging up to your expectations.

Suppose we analyze the main positive points we have found when testing Abobo's Big Adventure. In that case, we must first say several, starting with those references to the segment's classics, have driven us crazy. Likewise, you have to know that it is generally more fun than other 8-bit games that we can play today, and that becomes too predictable as the levels go by.

And what is the worst thing about Abobo's Big Adventure? Above all, this may have to do with our ability to overcome the obstacles that the game puts, but in any case, we did not want to fail to mention it for each user to evaluate. We are talking about the increasing difficulty of the levels, which nevertheless increases in such a way that some of them have seemed to us directly impossible to overcome.

As a summary of our experience with Abobo's Big Adventure, we are sure this game will live up to the expectations of those who long for 8-bit titles. Its elements are reminiscent of the classics, its entertaining proposal and storyline, and the need to sharpen your wits to the maximum to overcome the difficulties have convinced us of this.

Before finishing, we consider it essential to point out that we can also find a web version of this title, which, although it is not as complete as the one downloaded and installed on our PC, can offer us an approach to its proposal. Of course, unlike the one we have described here, we need an Internet connection to play it on any computer, which is not always possible.
