"Hurricanes" is a platform game developed for the Sega Game Gear, based on the animated television series of the same name, which was popular during the early 1990s. The plot of the game revolves around the adventures of a fictional football team, the Hurricanes, known for their virtue and sportsmanship, battling against their rivals, the Gorgons. In the game, players assume the role of one of the team members, navigating through various levels that are themed around different countries and environments to mirror the international nature of the Hurricanes' football matches. The objective is to overcome obstacles, collect items, and defeat opponents to progress through the levels.
Released during the mid-1990s, "Hurricanes" capitalized on the popularity of its TV show counterpart by offering fast-paced gameplay and a variety of levels that reflected the series' global settings. The game incorporated typical platform elements such as jumping, climbing, and running, while also interspersing football (soccer) elements, aligning with the theme of the series. Although not groundbreaking in terms of gameplay mechanics, it was notable for its attempt to blend sports and adventure elements, providing a unique niche among Game Gear titles. As with many games of that era, it challenged players with limited lives and a finite number of continues, making gameplay both engaging and demanding.
