Adventure Island II

In Adventure Island II: Aliens in Paradise, Master Higgins has to save his cavegirl from aliens which also want to dominate the Earth. Master Higgins walks through the levels while fighting against various enemies. One hit results in his untimely death unless he carries one of the various power ups, e.g. weapons or a skateboard which improves his speed. He also needs to collect food to fill up his steadily decreasing starvation bar - death awaits if it hits zero.

There are overall eight worlds with different themes which are represented by a overhead map. Sometimes there are different paths and at the end of each world, Master Higgins has to fight a boss.
