The Adventures of Rad Gravity adapts an Activision adventure platformer to NES with its hero exploring futuristic planets. The sci-fi art direction appeals and the space exploration concept brings originality. Pleasant for 8 bit adventure platform fans, original in the multi planets concept.

Adventures of Rad Gravity, The (NES) price, value & rarity
Activision's non-linear space platformer, where nine planets can be tackled in any order, an uncommon idea on the NES. Distribution was limited and complete copies, with the manual detailing the oddball arsenal including the toy ray, grow hard to assemble intact. Lacking strong cult status, its draw lies in pairing an atypical design with a modest Activision print run on the American market.
