Basic Information:
Wampus is an overhead arcade narrative adventure game developed as a homebrew for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
The wampus live on a planet invaded by colonialists, who farm and mine the land for its natural resources. These resource-stripping activities threaten the local flora and fauna, especially the Mountain Wampus, who get hunted for their treasure.
As a young wampus, players set out to rid the planet of the settler invaders and restore harmony to the land. While a fun lark, Wampus explores themes of environmentalism, conservationism, stewardship of the land, and the destructive nature of colonialism.*
* *Wampus is the first game in the MULEniverse series, which narratively extends the work of Danielle Bunten Berry's MULE economic simulator game.
The MULEniverse games include:
1. Wampus
2. Wart Worm Wingding
3. Bat Lizard Bonanza
4. Leggite Luta Livre
5. neMULEsis***
Game Information:
Wampus was originally released in 2019 as a game ROM file. Over the years the game received a few updates as well as a couple of releases on the NES. This is the first time that Wampus has been released on the Famicom. It contains the most updated (Wampus DX) version of the game.
Developed by Round 11, Wampus is an overhead adventure game. In many ways the game has a similar vibe to it as Zelda no Densetsu, though Wampus is meant to be completed in one sitting. Defeat enemies and learn special abilities, explore dungeons and save the planet - it's not that big of a task, right? And as with most games of this type, the Famicom version of Wampus comes with a map of Irata.
This set includes the following:
-Wampus Box
-Wampus Instruction Manual
-Wampus Famicom Cartridge
-Wampus Overworld Map of Irata
Compatibility:
Wampus has been tested and works fine on authentic Famicom hardware (original Famicom, AV Famicom) as well as major Famiclone brands (Micro Genius, Ending Man, etc).
