The Adventure Island series (Japanese: 高橋名人の冒険島, Takahashi-Meijin no Bōken Jima) was a series of platformer games created by Hudson Soft.

Introduction

This game series is a 2D horizontal scroller/platformer series developed by Hudson Soft in the 1980s, starring Master Higgins, a caricature of real-life Hudson executive Takahashi Meijin. In the NES era, it was said to be on par with the Super Mario series. The first Adventure Island was not an original work by Hudson, but a game licensed by Hudson from Westone (the developers of Wonder Boy). In each game, the heroine, Tina, is kidnapped by a monster, and Higgins must rescue her.

Because the game could become increasingly more dificult, and early Famicom cartridges did not have a save function, people relied on their own skills to clear it.

It wasn't until the advent of Famicom emulators that the built-in files were used.
