Unfortunately, the Doctor left without you, hating press and everything connected to it.
Recently he disappeared somewhere in the jungle of Congo, leaving only a few notes.
Apparently, he was on the trail of re-discovering the legendary lost temple of the Amut people, Am-Zutuk.
You decide to follow his steps, to find the lost Dr.
Livingston, and maybe to learn more about the mysterious people of Amut and the temple.
The game takes you to Congo, where you can move from location to location on a "world map" with about a hundred accessible areas.
You should make your way through platform levels populated with wild animals and other foes.
Some of the levels are impassable or serve no purpose, others contain valuable clues and useful items.
You can also visit town areas and talk to people.
There is a variety of weapons to be found during your quest, including "native" ones such as blowpipe and spear.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Stanley: The Search for Dr. Livingston for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
