Released in 1991 by ASC Games, Treasure Master is a unique action-platformer for the NES that originally tied into a real-world MTV contest where players could win physical prizes. You play as Scooter, navigating through creatively themed worldsโfrom a lunar landscape to microchip circuitsโusing various tools and vehicles to progress.
How to play
Guide Scooter through each stage, avoiding hazards and using items to overcome obstacles. In the browser, use the arrow keys to move, Z and X for your A and B buttons (jumping and using items), and Enter for Start. You will often need to find specific items in the environment before you can progress past certain barriers or enemies.
Tips
- Pay close attention to your inventory; you can only hold a limited number of items, so drop what you don’t need, but remember where you left it.
- Scooter’s jumping momentum can be trickyโpractice your mid-air control before attempting difficult platforming sections over pits.
