Little Nemo: The Dream Master is a 1990 side-scrolling platformer developed by Capcom for the NES, based on the animated film Adventures in Slumberland. You play as Nemo navigating imaginative dream worlds to rescue King Morpheus. The core mechanic involves throwing candy to feed and tame different animals, allowing Nemo to ride them and use their unique abilities to progress.
How to play
Each stage requires you to explore the environment and collect a specific number of keys to unlock the exit door. The game uses standard NES controls, mapped in your browser to the arrow keys for movement, Z and X for jumping and throwing candy, with Enter as Start and Shift as Select. Feeding an animal three pieces of candy puts it to sleep, letting you hop on to gain new movement options and attacks.
Tips
- The frog is excellent for high jumps and swimming, while the gorilla allows you to punch enemies and climb trees.
- You can dismount an animal at any time by pressing Select (Shift), which is crucial if you need to switch rides or if your current animal’s health is low.
- Keys are often hidden in hard-to-reach places, so thoroughly explore each area and experiment with different animal abilities to uncover them.
