The adventure starts in Tom's dream while he is asleep at school. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a platform game released in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The storyline is directly based on the book by Mark Twain. However, the characters in the game are characters from the book. The controls in this typical platform game consist of jumping and throwing stones. Dodge many obstacles like rolling barrels and defeat stubborn enemies like pirates, mice and even a giant squid. Help Tom drive down the Mississippi River, through forests, haunted houses, and the sky above.
Story
Tom Sawyer is dreaming, and in this dream he has to save Becky from Injun Joe, going through six stages to get to her. Along the way, he encounters various creatures, including a giant octopus, a huge alligator in the Mississippi River, ghosts and ghouls in a haunted house, and a dragon. He wakes up from the dream to find himself in his classroom in Missouri, where he finds a feather on his desk that once belonged to Injun Joe. It is never made clear whether the events of the game were real or not.
