The game consist of five different timed maps which make up the battlefield.
Gameplay itself is viewed from a top down perspective of the war-torn battlefield, which is filled with trenches and other obstacles, not to mention the enemy guards.
Scattered among the battlefield are items which the player can collect to add to their inventory.
Items include TNT, fuses, ladders, mines, keys, and wire cutters.
These items will be needed to overcome obstacles to get through the battlefield and rescue the prisoner.
The soldier is also equipped with a gun that can fire bullets at any incoming enemy soldiers.
The Famicom version of the game features a Game A, Game B and 2 Play mode.
Game A is the basic game, while Game B increases the difficulty by constantly firing missiles at the player.
The 2 Play mode has one player controlling the soldier while the other player controls the missiles.
The missiles can be used to destroy enemy soldiers, however they can still harm the other player.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Dough Boy for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Dough Boy to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1985.
