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 US edition of The Blues Brothers stands out with loose carts pricier than the PAL version, reflecting a late, limited NES run on a market that, near the console's end, absorbed few new third-party titles. Titus carried little weight in the States, and this box circulated in small volume there. Desirability comes from that end-of-cycle scarcity far more than the average gameplay, making complete copies hard to find.
