Overview and Gameplay

A broken television pulls Garfield into a series of movie-themed programs created by the electronic villain Glitch. This side-scrolling action platformer sends him through changing sets filled with enemies, hazards, moving platforms, hidden areas, and boss encounters.

Each program gives Garfield a different costume, close-range weapon, and limited projectile attack. Players collect ammunition and health items, activate checkpoints, recover remote-control parts, and travel through the Television Wasteland between major stages. Passwords allow later sections to be resumed.

Controls And Mechanics

  • Movement: Walk, run, look upward, climb, and interact with stage objects using the directional controls.
  • Combat: Use an unlimited close-range attack or throw collected ammunition at distant enemies.
  • Jumping: Standing and running jumps behave differently, making positioning important when reaching platforms.
  • Players: The game supports solo play only.

Release And Credits

  • Release year: 1995
  • Developer: Sega Interactive Development Division
  • Publisher: Sega
  • Original platform: Sega Genesis and Mega Drive
