History VideoGame / LesterTheUnlikely

* TheChiefsDaughter: Tikka, who helps Lester when he reaches the Native village.

* FaceYourFears: A major theme of the game. When Lester encounters an enemy for the first time, he runs away from it (removing control from the player temporarily). He will then approach it cautiously. Once that particular type of enemy is defeated, Lester will not show any fear toward it.

* DamselInDistress: Two major ones- first [[TheChiefsDaughter Tikka]] (When you have to save her from the KillerGorilla.), and then the Chief himself- who has been taken hostage by the Pirates on the other side of the Island.

* ChekovsGunman: The pirates mentioned in the intro later return in the final level as enemies.

* DesertIsland

* CharacterDevelopment: Lester becomes a lot less of a loser as the game goes on.
** In more detail, when Lester arrives at the beginning beach area, he's basically a wuss. Lester can't even jump down a cliff or spiky rocks without shaking in fear, something most game protagonists can do without hesitation. Although he runs from an enemy, screaming like a complete wimp the first time he encounters it, it doesn't happen in subsequent encounters. On his adventure through the island, however, he becomes more confident as he travels (after a kiss from Tikka, that is, he is no longer flailing his arms while running, standing upright, etc).

* InfinityPlusOneSword: The Sword, attained near the end, is the strongest weapon in the game- being able to take down [[DemonicSpiders Pirates]] in two hits.

** CharacterDevelopment: Lester becomes a lot less of a loser as the game goes on.

* DamselInDistress

* FaceYourFears: A major theme of the game. When Lester encounters an enemy for the first time, he runs from it (removing control from the player temporarily). He will then approach it cautiously. Once that particular type of enemy is defeated, Lester will not show any fear toward it.
* FurBikini: The cover shows a lady wearing one.
%%* FragileSpeedster: Lester.
%%* HollywoodNerd: Lester, again.
* KillerGorilla: Lester fights one to save a native girl.

* FragileSpeedster: Lester.
* HollywoodNerd: Lester, again.

* AdrenalineMakeover: Once he defeats the KillerGorilla and gets a SmootchOfVictory, Lester's posture improves, he no longer flails his arms while running, and he loses his cowardice.

* ActionSurvivor: Lester

* InstantPlunderJustAddPirates: In the intro and final level of the game.

''Lester the Unlikely'' is a 1994 game for the SNES. In the beginning, a typical teenage boy named Lester, who is "kind of geeky" and "kind of sleepy", recently got a new issue of the ''Super Duper Hero Squad'' comic book. He was reading it while walking on a pier, until he fell asleep next to a cargo crate lying beside a cargo ship. After he and the cargo were loaded onto the ship by a crane and cruised off, the ship got hijacked by pirates who scuttled it. Lester luckily found a life jacket and swam toward the nearest island while the cargo ship sank. Lester must find his way home by exploring the island for someone or something that can help him survive.

* NintendoHard: This game plays a lot like ''PrinceOfPersia'', but with stiffer controls.
