Little Samson is a classic 1992 action platformer video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The game combines the cute aesthetics of Bubble Bobble with the run and gun action of Mega Man and character selection of Super Mario Bros. 2. The player jumps with the A button and attacks, usually in the form of a projectile, with the B button. The game’s setup is reminiscent of Mega Man by Capcom. The player may switch characters at any point during the level. Each character has their own health gauge, but they all share the same “lives”.
