Play Adventures of Tintin, The - Prisoners of the Sun (Europe) (En,Fr,De) on gb Online

Infogrames released Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun for the Game Boy in 1997. It was one of many licensed titles from that era, translating Hergé’s comic book world into a portable adventure. The game captures the look of the source material with its distinct character sprites and environments, fitting right in with other platformers and puzzle games of the time.

You control Tintin, navigating screen by screen through temples and jungles, avoiding guards who signal their alertness with exclamation bubbles. The main goal is to rescue your captured friends by solving environmental puzzles, finding keys, and occasionally using items like a slingshot. The pacing is deliberate, with some challenging logic puzzles that require careful observation. It feels like a thoughtful, sometimes tricky extension of the comic’s exploratory spirit.
