World Adventure

Screenshots

The title screen displays large yellow "World Adventure" text overlaid on a green background filled with repeated "Adventure" text. Two character sprites—one with brown hair and one with white hair, both with round heads and simple features—stand in the center-right area wearing colorful striped clothing. Below them, blue and purple geometric shapes frame the composition. "INSERT-COIN" text appears at the bottom in white lettering. The overall art style uses bright primary colors and low-resolution sprite graphics typical of late-1990s arcade games.
