    Cocky glowing retro vibe. Colors, movement and neon. Yes the style, the puls is super rad but I just dont find the core gameplay and story interesting, level design is also very messy. I just lost interest to even care quite early. To bad, had follow the production for a while but it didnt tickle my interest in the end.

    Narita Boy could be the peak of the genre, but it is constantly being pulled down by not-that-good controls and unnecessary backtracking. What it does right is boss fights and its whole digital-computer games based world.

    Despite any perceived difficulties experienced in Narita Boy, all can be forgiven if you enjoy a world that immerses itself completely in the tech of a bygone era. There’s something to be said about racing against the digital wind on a CRT-horse in a pixelated world that looks like the SNES Star Wars game but feels like that infamous Battletoads level. If you know that exact vibe I’m talking about, you gotta check out Narita Boy. After all, the fate of the Digital Kingdom rests in your hands.

    Narita Boy is a perfect ode to the 80's with amazing sidescrolling action in a neon world. This game is so creative, we love it.
