The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun is a classic platformer released for the Game Boy in 1997 by Infogrames. Based on Hergé’s famous comic book storyline covering both The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun, the game follows the intrepid reporter Tintin as he travels from Europe to Peru to rescue the kidnapped Professor Calculus. Players must navigate perilous environments, avoid traps, and deal with various enemies in a puzzle-heavy platforming experience.

Controls are straightforward on the Game Boy: use the D-pad (mapped to your keyboard’s arrow keys) to move and climb, press A (Z key) to jump, and press B (X key) to interact with objects or throw items. Press Start (Enter) to pause the game.

Tips

Take your time when moving through unfamiliar areas, as enemy placements and falling hazards are often designed to catch rushing players off guard. Look out for interactive background elements, and don’t hesitate to use throwable items to deal with enemies from a safe distance.
