The Adventures of Rad Gravity is a quirky action-platformer developed by Interplay and released for the NES in 1990. You play as the titular hero, a daring space adventurer with a comically large head, who is tasked with exploring diverse planets to locate the missing Compumindsโcybernetic brains that control the universe's teleportation network. Along the way, you must navigate environments with unique physics, battle alien creatures, and master the distinct gravity of each world.
How to Play
Your objective is to travel from planet to planet, defeat the local bosses, and recover the hidden Compuminds. The game uses standard NES controls, which map directly to your keyboard in the browser:
- Move: Arrow keys
- Jump (A): Z key
- Attack (B): X key
- Start: Enter
- Select: Shift
Tips
- Mind the physics: Every planet has its own quirks. Worlds like Vernia feature inverted gravity that will flip your movement upside down, so be prepared to adapt your jumps.
- Crouch to fight: Rad's unusual proportions make him an easy target. Use his ducking attack to safely hit lower enemies without taking damage.
- Explore thoroughly: You will often need to find teleportation codes to unlock new destinations. Search every corner of a planet to ensure you do not miss vital progress items.
