Adventure Island II (高橋名人の冒険島II Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima II?, lit. "Master Takahashi's Adventure Island II") is a video game made by Hudson Soft and first released in the United States in February, 1991. On April 26 of that year it was released in Japan, and a European release followed on July 22, 1992. The player assumes the role of Master Higgins, a tropical villager who is trying to save his wife from the aliens that are invading places surrounding Adventure Island; he is aided by skateboards, dinosaurs, and axes. It is a classic side-scroller that can be considered similar to the Super Mario Bros. series of games.
A version was also created for the Nintendo Game Boy, which is called simply "Adventure Island", omitting the "II" (however, in Japan the Game Boy version retained its roman numeral). The Game Boy version was released in North America in February, 1992; in Japan on March 6, 1992; and in Europe on April 23, 1992.
Quite confusingly, the Game Boy game just mentioned has a sequel, also on the Game Boy, which is called Adventure Island 2 (using the number 2 and not the roman numeral II) in both Japan and the United States. This game was released in Japan on February 26, 1993 and in the United States sometime during that same month.
