Play Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima III (Japan) Online – Nintendo (NES) Game

Game Overview

"Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima III"—or Adventure Island III as it’s known outside Japan—is a classic NES gem that throws you right back into the shoes of Master Higgins, the island-hopping hero with a serious vendetta against dinosaurs and fruit-stealing baddies. This time, the adventure is bigger, bolder, and packed with even more surprises—like riding friendly dinosaurs (yes, really!) that give you unique abilities, from stomping enemies as a triceratops to soaring through levels on a pterodactyl. The game keeps the series' signature tough-but-fair platforming but spices things up with inventive power-ups and vibrant, colorful worlds that feel like a tropical playground (if that playground was full of angry bees and lava pits).

If you’ve played the first two Adventure Island games, you’ll notice this one feels smoother and more polished, with tighter controls and clever level designs that reward exploration. And if you’re new? Well, get ready for a dose of old-school challenge with a side of pure, nostalgic fun. It’s the kind of game that makes you grin when you finally beat a tricky stage—only to groan when the next one throws a wave of spiders at you. Classic NES charm at its finest!
