A forgettable Swamp Thing tie-in where the swamp hero limply hops platforms. Enemies lack variety, the difficulty punishes without fairness. A nice license, a game quickly tucked back into the drawer.

Collector interest

European PAL edition of THQ's Swamp Thing comic adaptation, one of the hardest complete PAL NES games to source. The European run, already tiny for a late, poorly rated title, makes this a case of pure scarcity rather than a classic sought for its play. The strong European value comes down to the near absence of copies surfacing on the PAL market.
