Banana Quest

About

Banana Quest is a side-scrolling adventure game built around one goal: retrieving stolen Sacred Bananas spread across seven increasingly tricky levels. Developed by André Mello Metello and released on DOS in 1996, the game tasks players with navigating tight platforming sections, dodging hazards, and solving simple puzzles to progress. The controls are basic but responsive, and the levels mix obstacles like spikes, moving platforms, and enemy guards. While the visuals stick to DOS-era simplicity, the focus is on precise jumps and timing. Despite its age, the game has a small but dedicated following. Players rate it 8.7/10 on average, praising the tight level design and the absurd premise. The challenge comes from narrow ledges and one-hit kills, making it tough but fair. Its retro charm and quirky concept still appeal to fans of old-school indie titles. The DOS version runs smoothly in emulators, keeping the banana-hunting fun accessible.
