Description
Platformer featuring Jetsons characters solving problems in a futuristic city. Published by Taito, released in the USA in 1992. Characters in side-scrolling view in a futuristic world. NES adaptation of The Jetsons animated series.
The North American NES release, put out by Taito in 1992, benefits from the Jetsons being a deeply familiar TV property in the United States, fueling a genuine nostalgia demand the Japanese market lacked. Arriving at the very tail of the NES cycle as players shifted to the SNES, it saw a small print run. That late-release timing combined with strong local brand recognition makes complete copies command well above the average licensed platformer.
