Play Blues Brothers, The (europe) (beta) Online

I picked up a copy of the European beta release of The Blues Brothers for the Super Nintendo. It was developed by Titus and released in the early 90s, a time when licensed platformers were common on the system. This one stood out for its connection to the film, even in its unfinished state.

You control either Jake or Elwood Blues, navigating side scrolling levels to recover musical instruments for the band. The gameplay involves running, jumping across platforms, and punching or kicking enemies like cops and protesters. A signature mechanic is using your saxophone case as a weapon, which can be swung to attack. You also drive the Bluesmobile in certain stages, which adds a different pace to the action. The game is known for its high difficulty, with precise jumps and aggressive enemies demanding careful movement. Playing it feels like a challenging, sometimes chaotic, attempt to bring the band back together.
