Jackie Chan Adventures - Legend of the Dark Hand ROM

Jackie Chan Adventures: Legend of the Dark Hand is a single player beat-’em-up developed by Torus Games for the Game Boy Advance (GBA), based on the Jackie Chan Adventures animated TV series. The game was published by Activision and released in November 2001 in North America and Europe.

The game incorporates characters and the broad story arc from the show, but it’s centred around a unique subplot. Jackie Chan is minding his uncle’s shop when Dark Hand enforcer Hak Foo breaks in and steals one of eight ancient scrolls that grant kung fu powers. Urged on by Jade and Uncle, he goes across the world to retrieve all eight scrolls before the Dark Hand can use their power for evil.

The game is a side-scrolling beat-’em-up. In each level, Jackie must defeat a horde of minions before facing off against a level boss. Depending on the level, these minions may be the goons of Enforcers like Hak Foo and Ratso, and/or the Shadowkhan (four tribes appear in the game, each with their own abilities and weapons). Except in the Section 13 Training Area, scrolls appear right before each boss fight. Each one grants Jackie a new attack (i.e. new punch and kick combos), which he can use immediately afterwards.
