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

American version of THQ's Swamp Thing, valued even above the PAL edition, unusual for an NES title. This NTSC scarcity stems from a very small initial run for a second-tier DC license released in 1992. The collecting angle is a high-end North American rarity pursued by completists of the official NES catalogue rather than by comic fans or players.
