Play Battletoads (Europe) Online

Battletoads came out on the NES in 1991, developed by Rare. It was part of that wave of late-era NES games that pushed the hardware with detailed graphics and fast action, standing out with its weird sense of humor and punishing difficulty.

You control one of three Battletoads, brawling through side-scrolling stages filled with enemies. The goal is to rescue your friend from the Dark Queen, but the real challenge is surviving levels that constantly change the rules. One moment you're punching robots, the next you're racing down a tunnel avoiding walls on a turbo bike, or rappelling down a shaft while dodging projectiles. The game is brutally difficult, with instant deaths and demanding reaction times, but pulling off a perfect run through a tricky section feels incredibly satisfying. It's a game that tests your patience and reflexes in equal measure.
