About this game
Totally Rad is an action game in which you play Jake, a magician wannabe being trained by the Master Magician Zebediah.
One day, during his training, Jake is attacked by surprise by unknown foes who kidnap Allison, his girlfriend.

Then, Jake has to save her and discover what lies behind that attack.
This game is a side-scrolling one, with the basic controls common to many of those games that fall in the same category: moving, jumping and shooting.
Your basic weapon is something like an energy ball that can be charged by holding the button for a few seconds until its maximum power.
Although Jake is supposed to still be learning his magic from Zebediah, from the very beginning you can use all his magical powers.
You can select which magic you want to use from a list, displayed when you press the start button.
The magical powers available include healing, time stopping, invincibility, the power of the elements (fire, watter, wind and earth) and 3 different metamorphosis.
You can morph into a flying guy who throws something like a boomerang (that doesn't come back), a fish-like guy, who throws something like ninja stars and can swim, and a feline-like guy, who releases electrical shocks from his hands and becomes invincible while jumping.
You do not evolve during the game, as your health and magic bar doesn't grow.
Totally Rad , as the name points out, is a game full of slang, with the constant use of words like totally, gnarly, dude, excellent, decent, righteous, etc.
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 Totally Rad 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 Totally Rad 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 1990.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
