This game is a good action platformer. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is its length... It only takes about a half hour to beat it! What separates this one from others is that you have multiple weapons with different uses to get you through the levels just like megaman to progress and beat bosses but I've never seen them in any other NES game. The controls are tight and responsive and the music and sound effects are well above average in my opinion. The graphics are very appealing as well for an old game. I would pick this one up before the prices get even higher because I never seen this game in the wild before. Most importantly the game is very fun and it makes you want to keep playing to see what type of level/enemies/boss is next to defeat. I highly recommend this cartridge if you enjoy action platformer a like Mario and megaman if you can get it at a good price. Just remember it's a very short play through.Read full review

Whomp 'em is one of those games that fell by the wayside because hey, did you remember reading about it in Nintendo power either? Neither did I. It's sort of a cool game, you play as a Native American boy who uses a spear, and can upthrust, downthrust(just like Link in Zelda 2) and can get new powers from defeating the boss of each stage. Kinda like Megaman, huh? Well, copying from Link and Megaman isn't necessarily a bad thing. What really kills the joy in this game is the incredible difficulty level. I don't know what it is, but avoiding the enemies is almost impossible. Even if you try and kill them, they will end you eventually. I'm serious, there's a continuous and never-ending onslaught of enemies coming at you. Because of this, finishing even just one stage is damn hard. Maybe not as hard as Ghouls and Ghosts, but sometimes it feels that difficult. This game is pretty hard, and the learning curve is very, VERY high. So only sit down and play this if you've got some serious patience. I give this game an average rating because it's not fun at first because you'll find yourself dying left and right. It'll take days, maybe weeks before you get used to it. By then, you'll probably want to play something else and never pick up Whomp 'em ever again.Read full review
Whomp'em! is a solid platformer. It is based on a Japanese title and is structurally very similar to Mega Man, In the game, you take on the role of a young Native American, fighting evil in many different environments. Luckily, you have infinite continues and you can start on any level at any time. The graphics are well-done, as are the sound effects and music. II would say it is a typical Nintendo platformer, fun in small doses, but never as frustrating as other games.
