You played that one? I remember seeing it in a Toys 'r' us catalog back in 1994 (still has that catalog, actually) and being mightily faschinated by the cover image. I didn't have a NES, though, so I never played it, and Toys 'r' us was taken over by a Danish toystore the year after, which meant that all the exotic American stuff (save Barbie and so) was taken off the shelves, so I never even got to see it in 'real life'. What's the game about, anyway?

Ok, it's by the creator of pitfall I believe, his name was actually attached to the game "What'shisname Presents, A Boy and His Blob" so I guess it was some kind of deal?
Anyway, you play a kid who runs around with a bag of jellybeans. Coincidentally a big marshmellowy white blob had fallen to earth from space. He met the boy and they became friends. The game mechanics were incredibly experimental in nature. The boy would feed the blob a jellybean and depending on the flavor the blob would change into different items. Ex. Ladder, blowtorch, rocket, trampoline, a hole, ect. So with the flavored jelly beans the boy would make the blob change into shapes and they'd go and collect gold. They find gold in the subway tunnels, and then deeper underground in caves which are filled with bats and snakes and the like. The gold was used to go by more beans and Vitamins!
The vitamins are used at the end of the game (on the blob's home planet which you could go to at any time by turing the blob into a rocket and flying him) to defeat the evil blob who had taken over the planet. You shoot the vitamins at the bad guy and kill him. Hooray.
When I was a kid the game scared me and I could never play more than 10 minutes of it before being siezed by fear and giving up (I was a wierd kid).

That reminds me. When I was 5 or so, I was deathly afriad of this one Comodore game in which clowns would jump on teeter totters to pop balloons, and and if you fell down, the clown died and the "Death March" song (I forget who wrote it) played. I would run away and hide in the closet whenever a clown fell to his death.
