Home Improvement (sometimes called Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit) is an action/platforming video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System based on the hit sitcom Home Improvement.
[edit] Plot
The player guides Tim "The Toolman" Taylor in a quest to find some Binford power tools that have gone missing from the set of Tool Time.
[edit] Gameplay
The game plays similarly to other action/platform games of the time that were based on popular television shows or movies (like Virgin's The Lion King, which was also released in 1994.)
The player's weapons include modified tools such as a nail gun, a blowtorch (used as a flamethrower), and a chainsaw which inexplicably hurls energy waves. These weapons are used to fight dinosaurs, acid-spewing mummies, robot sentries, and other enemies.
The game is broken down into 4 worlds of 4 levels, each world containing a boss level.
It is also worth noting that the game had no manual; its splash screen explained, “Real men don’t need instructions.”
