Play Adventures of Gilligan's Island, The Online

Game Overview

Remember that old Gilligan's Island show? Someone actually made an NES game about it, and it's as weirdly charming as you'd expect. You play as Gilligan (or the Skipper, because apparently he's more useful in a crisis), running around the island collecting boat parts while avoiding coconuts and giant crabs. The controls are a little stiff—typical for an NES platformer—but hearing that chiptune version of the theme song makes up for it.

It's not exactly a masterpiece, but there's something oddly satisfying about jumping through palm trees and getting lost in pixelated jungles. The whole thing feels like a fever dream version of the show, complete with awkward enemy designs and questionable level layouts. If you're into retro oddities or just miss the days when TV tie-in games were gloriously janky, this one's worth a laugh. Just don't blame me when you get stuck on the same screen for 20 minutes.
