Wolverine (video game)

"Wolverine" is the title of an LJN video game released for the NES. The side-scrolling action game has the player controlling the popular Marvel Comics super hero through various stages in an effort to defeat the villains, such as Sabretooth and Magneto, who has kidnapped Wolverine and trapped him on a deserted island.

Other X-Men characters, such as Jubilee, Havok, and Psylocke, are hidden in secret rooms throughout the levels and offer advice or aid if found.

Wolverine's basic moves are jumping, ducking, punching, and kicking. He can bring out his trademark powerful claws with a push of the "Select" button, but every time the claws are used his energy is depleted. Unlike many other NES games where following being hit, one's character will have a few seconds of invincibility, in this game the energy goes down quickly with only burger and soft drink icons to replenish one's health.
