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.
