Play Toobin on nes Online

Toobin' on the NES came out in 1989, published by Tengen. It was a weird one, even for its time, a game that felt completely separate from the usual platformers and fantasy adventures crowding the system. You weren't a hero saving a princess; you were just a guy, or one of two guys, floating down a river on an inner tube.

You control your character as they drift automatically down a winding river, using the D-pad to move left and right to avoid obstacles like rocks, alligators, and rival tubers. Your main objective is to reach the end of each course, but you spend most of your time hurling empty soda cans at enemies and targets to clear your path or earn extra points. The game is split into distinct screens you must clear one by one, and the pacing is surprisingly frantic for a game about floating. It feels chaotic and a little absurd, a straightforward but oddly tense race against the current.
