Lucky Luke is a platformer released in 1997 for the Super Nintendo, developed by Infogrames. It blends platformer and action elements.

It landed about 6 years into the SNES's life. Other notable SNES releases from 1997 include Kirby's Dream Land 3, Space Invaders and The Lost Vikings 2.

It is part of the Lucky Luke series. The series also appears on other systems with Lucky Luke: Desperado Train (GBC) and Lucky Luke (Game Boy). Infogrames also made Tintin in Tibet, Asterix and Dragon View for the SNES.

Lucky Luke supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to run, jump and explore
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the SNES hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives

What playing Lucky Luke is like

Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.

Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
