Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II (1994) brought back Mike Jones for a time-traveling adventure, hurling him across history to collect magic tablets and face the returning villain Zoda.

By 1994 the NES was well past its prime — the SNES had long since taken over — so this sequel arrived quietly, a late entry many players missed entirely. That makes it a neat curio: a polished continuation of the cult original, released almost out of time.

It keeps the top-down action-adventure feel of the first game while sending Mike everywhere from ancient Egypt to the Wild West. A charming, overlooked footnote to the NES story.
