Play Adventures of Dr. Franken, The Online
You play as a mad scientist chasing a thief through gothic castles, zapping bats and riding a dinosaur skeleton like some bizarre dream. The levels are full of weird details—ribcage platforms, floating candles—that make it feel like a forgotten cartoon.
Game Overview
Okay, so The Adventures of Dr. Franken is one of those weird little SNES games that somehow slipped under the radar—which is a shame, because it’s got this bizarre charm that sticks with you. You’re basically a mad scientist (complete with wild hair and a lab coat) chasing down some jerk who stole your monster parts. Yeah, that’s the plot. No, it doesn’t make sense. Yes, it’s amazing.
The first level throws you right into a gothic castle with floating candles and these little bat enemies that dive at you like they’ve got a personal grudge. You’ve got this zapper gun thing, but half the fun is figuring out how to use the environment—like luring enemies into traps or hopping onto moving platforms shaped like, I don’t know, giant ribcages. And then there’s the dinosaur skeleton. You ride it. No explanation given.
It’s got that Mega Man vibe where every level introduces some new gimmick, but with way more cobwebs and mad science. The music’s all spooky harpsichord, the puzzles are just tricky enough to make you feel smart, and the whole thing feels like playing a cartoon from the ‘30s. If you dig retro games with personality (and don’t mind the occasional cheap hit from a ghost), this one’s a blast. Just try not to cackle maniacally when you finally beat that obnoxious boss in the clock tower.
