Adventure Canoe is this week’s release in Hamster Corporation’s Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 lines of emulated coin-op titles, following on from last week’s release of Mega Zone, on which we previously reported.
Hamster Corporation describes the gameplay of Adventure Canoe as follows: “Your goal is to paddle your canoe down the river and venture deep into the uncharted backcountry. Watch out for driftwood floating downstream and the fierce river currents.
Rumor has it that terrifying crocodiles and outlaws inhabit these waters… Reach the finish line safely and prove your courage!”
Adventure Canoe is an action game that was first released into arcades by Taito back in 1982, and despite its advancing years, Adventure Canoe has only set sail on home formats once before, when it saw a release on Taito’s Egret Mini 2 mini home arcade cnsole.
