The Blues Brothers adapts the cult film on NES with Jake and Elwood in a musical platformer, needing to reach their concert while avoiding the police. The representation chains fixed pattern escape levels with environment interaction in a Titus license formula. Honest for film licensed NES platform fans in the Titus production vein.

Collector interest

Titus's NES adaptation of the Blues Brothers film arrived late in Europe, when attention had already shifted toward the Super Nintendo, leaving a small PAL print run. Titus, a French publisher with a thin NES catalogue, distributed this box only across a few European territories, widening the loose-to-complete gap. Value rests on that late, narrow release rather than the game itself, considered average.
