Bio Force Ape

About

You play as a pet chimpanzee who drinks a strange serum to turn into a pro wrestler. Your goal is simple enough given the premise. You need to fight through levels and save your family from whoever took them. The gameplay feels like a standard platformer where you jump, punch, and dodge attacks while moving across different stages. This was one of the few games for the Family Computer that let an ape take on the wrestling ring directly. This title has a history that makes it stand out beyond just the mechanics. It appeared in Nintendo Power back when they rated everything highly, yet the game disappeared from stores and remained lost for years. A group called Lost Levels eventually found the prototype cartridge online so people could play it again. The community data shows this obscure entry holds a spot as one of those rare gems that survived only because someone kept digging for it. It remains a fun oddity for anyone who enjoys weird platformers from the early nineties.
