After Scooby's antics in an Elite game, his fearless nephew gets his turn under the spotlight with this canine caper from Hi-Tec. Apparently Scooby and Shaggy have gone and got themselves lost, so it's Scrappy to the rescue with poppy power!!!

Scrappy's rescue attempt takes him through four levels (Ghost Town, Graveyard, Mansions, Dungeon) or left-right platform action, leaping around, dodging the skulls, water and various other hazards while using his R-Type-style power punch for general baddie-biffing.

If it wasn't for the main star being a cartoon character (and also a good sprite), Scooby & Scrappy wouldn't stand out from the crowd. It's a fast-paced game with plenty of simple bouncy action and a nice line in background graphics - there's a multi-load every two levels. The precision jumping can be demanding in places but it's simple enough to appeal to younger players in particular.

Only cynical, older players would wonder why there isn't more variety...!
