Talk:The California Raisins: The Grape Escape (Unreleased 1990 NES Game)/@comment-11268421-20150516224844

"The California Raisins: The Grape Escape" was a platforming game made by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was not released to the general public, so it is a valuable collectors item. The premise of the game revolves around trying to help rescue the band and the musical notes from a group of jealous musicians. This game went unreleased for unknown reasons. One of the reasons for cancellation could have been the dwindling popularity of the California raisins mascots.

In this single player, side scrolling NES game, players control a california raisin in an effort to save the band. The player can also shoot an unlimited supply of grape jelly bean projectiles. As was the case with other Capcom games, the player could play any of the first four levels in any order, but they could not play the final level until they collected all of the musical notes from the first four levels. The first four levels include The Grape Vine, The Factory, The Maize Maze, and The Juicery. The final level takes place in the clouds.

CRgameplay Players can also collect "I" icons that can give the player temporary invincibility, regular black music notes for bonus points, sunsine icons to restore health, and raisinette icons to give the player an extra life. The game appears to be largely finished as game reviewers gave it positive reviews. Capcom games made during 1990 came with a flyer that had this as an upcoming game.
