Product ReviewsLittle Nemo: The Dream Master (Nintendo Entertainment System, 1990)

Little Nemo; For the kid at heart!

Little Nemo: The Dream Master, while it seems like a kid's game, isn't exactly like the kid's games you see nowadays. It is a deceptively hard game, but video games just aren't truly video games without a challenge.

As Little Nemo, you enter your own dreams armed simply with candy. You use the candy to feed friendly animals, and they'll offer you a "ride". If you can imagine a Mega Man-esque feature, except you don't need to beat any bosses to gain their powers. Become a frog, a lizard, a gorilla, a mole, and much much more. When it comes to nostalgia, very few games out there make me feel like a kid again. Little Nemo is one of those games. It makes me feel like I'm 7 years old again, on the weekend, no school, no homework. Just me, the NES, and Little Nemo.

Fun gameplay? Check. Amazing soundtrack? Check. A fairy-tale style story that sounds as if it truly came from a 7 year old? Check. This game was made by Capcom, which as you know, was the biggest and BEST 3rd party developer for the NES. I honestly regard Little Nemo: The Dream Master as one of the BEST and most under-rated NES games of all time. So much fun. If you can find a copy, PICK IT UP. There is no other game quite like it. And if you're a nostalgic person like me, you'll be glued to your TV for months to come.Read full review...

Little Nemo: Childhood in a cartrage

Little Nemo: The Dream Master is another awesome liscenced game by Capcom for the NES. At the time, this was a winning combanation (DuckTales, Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck...). This is of course not an exception.
The game play is fun, mostly since you're a kid running around a fantasy land. You feed candy to animals, then use them (in a very Kirby like fashion) to find keys all around the level and continue on.
This game seems to embody. Once again, you're a kid running around a fantasy dream land. Even with everything trying to kill you, it's still a joy simply to be there. The music supplies a great deal of that; it's fun, light hearted... Another area that might come from are the colors of the games; it has alot of purple and aquamarine neon type colors, which really puts in the atmospher.
The levels can be challenging, since you do need to cover most of the map to find the keys. It's kind of like a puzzle, figuring out the order of things. Once you figure it out, it does become easier, but it can still be challenging.
As most NES games, there is no save feature, but if you lose all your lives, you do have the choice of continuing, which is appreciated.
This game is simply fun. If you enjoy most platformers like Kirby, Mega man or the liscences Capcom NES games mentioned earlier, this game is a must have.Read full review...

Great treat

Been wanting to play this game. I loved the animation as a kid. It did not disappoint. Expected it to be hard, fun, and original in game play. Most used NES games need a little windex-cutip cleaning but came in great condition. Thanks for this gem!Read full review...

CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA AT ITS BEST!!!

Great game to re-visit your childhood! Just be prepared to have a few meltdowns playing this game as it is surprisingly quite difficult even as an adult playing now! Still fun and addicting though!!! Definitely a great addition to any gamer's collection! Now if only this game was rebooted for the PS4....Read full review...

Another Classic NES Game

Oh My Lord what a difficult game. It may be called Dream Master and have a picture of a Cute little boy on a flying bed, but the gameplay could be compared to Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master, Because the toughness of it will give you nightmares!

Don't get me wrong, this was and still is an enjoy able game to play. Its one of those Childhood Memories I never forgot about. What i did forget about was how hard it was. I dont think i ever got past the third level. Maybe this time around I can do it.Read full review...
