Dennis the Menace, also known as Dennis in Europe, is a platform video game, developed and published by Ocean Software in 1993. Citizen Software developed a Game Boy version. The game is based on the 1993 family comedy movie with the same name, which itself is based on the comic with that name.
Plot[]
Dennis Mitchell must save his friends Joey and Margaret, as well as Mr. Wilson's coin collection, from the burglar Switchblade Sam.
Gameplay[]
Controlling Dennis Mitchell, the player has to go through four stages, collecting five large coins in each one. If the player manages to find both of Dennis's friends along with Mr. Wilson's entire coin collection, he will have won the game.
Health is represented by hearts. If Dennis is touched by an enemy, one heart will disappear, and Dennis is temporarily stunned. Once all of the hearts are gone, the player must restart the level (but retains all main coins found). Pieces of candy located throughout the levels fully restore Dennis' health when collected.
The player has 999 seconds (16.7 minutes) to complete each stage. If time runs out, there is an immediate game over, which completely eradicates all work done on a level. The clock is not reset when Dennis loses a life.
Reception[]
Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Super NES version a 5.6 out of 10, remarking that "the game is somewhat unappealing, with a main character that just doesn't come to life." Super Gamer gave an overall score of 74% writing: "An extremely pretty and challenging game, although gameplay is rather fiddly and slow."
