StarTropics is a unique action-adventure game that blends island exploration, puzzle-solving, and quirky combat. You play as Mike Jones, searching for your missing archaeologist uncle across a chain of tropical islands. While the controls can feel a bit stiff and the notorious letter code adds an extra layer of challenge, StarTropics boasts a charming story, engaging dungeons, and a surprisingly memorable soundtrack. It's a hidden gem with a distinct personality that still holds up today.
