The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989 by SETA and was based upon the 1876 book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.
The game is not to be confused with Square's Tom Sawyer.
Inexplicably, the level order is changed in the English version (perhaps so as not to confuse players by starting with the rafting stage).
He encounters various creatures, including a giant octopus, a giant alligator in the Mississippi River, ghosts and ghouls in a haunted house, and a dragon.
It is never made clear whether or not the events of the game were real.
