Little Nemo or simply Nemo is an arcade game based on Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland by Capcom in 1990.
In this game the player controls Nemo (armed with the King's Scepter) as he explores the dangerous enemy-infested Slumberland to find King Morpheus, and ultimately stop the released Nightmare King and restore peace to Slumberland. The game has 2-Player Co-Op, where the second player controls Flip, who is armed with his cane.
The game is a side-scrolling action game. Nemo and Flip can defeat enemies by whacking them with their melee weapons, throwing objects at them, or the good old fashioned stomp. There are also some power-ups in the game to restore health and a Yashichi that lets them shoot projectiles for a limited time.
This is not to be confused with the the NES Little Nemo game, which was released in the same year.
The Little Nemo Arcade Game contains examples of:
- Clockworks Area: Stage 2, Slumber Land, takes place within a giant clock, where the player has to navigate moving gear platforms.
- Co-Op Multiplayer: The game has this, the first player is always Nemo, while a second player can join in and take control of Flip.
- Critical Annoyance: An alarm sounds whenever a player gets low on health.
- Death Throws: If either Nemo or Flip runs out of Vitality, he falls off the screen. If he has a life to spare, he jumps right back in.
- Dual Boss: The first level bosses are two Slumberland guards who attack the player on mobile tanks.
- Everything Trying to Kill You: As is the usual case. Floating mini-zeppelins, toy soldiers, and little spiders, among many.
- Goomba Stomp: One of the ways the player can defeat enemies outside of your melee attack. You can jump on top of enemies to beat them.
- Life Meter: A long life meter reading "Vitality" (or "Vital") appears for both of the characters. A long yellow life meter for the boss appears when encountered.
- Locomotive Level: The first level, King Morpheus, takes place on top of a moving toy train.
