Cool World film adventure. Confusing levels, soft controls, mood too dark for its audience. Disappointing all around.

Description
Cool World 2D platformer from the film. Published by Ocean, released in 1993 in Europe and North America. 8+ levels, hero to control, cartoon foes, stylized aesthetics.
Ocean's PAL adaptation of the film Cool World, this European version stands clearly apart from its US counterpart through a short print run that is hard to gather complete, with a multilingual manual. As a game it disappoints, but the object becomes genuine PAL-completist quarry: the clean European box and localisation make it a piece hunted by seekers of scarce Ocean editions. Loose it seldom surfaces; complete in a clean cardboard box it holds a regional desirability well above the American version.
