Attack of the Killer Tomatoes adapts the comic animated series to NES with its hero facing carnivorous tomatoes. The cartoon art direction appeals but gameplay stays basic and difficulty uneven. Pleasant for series fans, in the lower middle of 8 bit animation tie ins.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (NES) price, value & rarity
On the North American market this THQ port of the spoof film circulated more widely than the PAL version, yet complete copies climb because few players kept the packaging of a minor licensed title from that era. The appeal lies in its curiosity status, an adaptation of a cult B-movie comedy rather than any gameplay strength, sustained by a small circle of offbeat-license collectors.
