Yogi's Great Escape

He may well be smarter than the average bear, but not even Yogi Bear can think of a suitably devious plan to save Jellystone Park from closing. Therefore, instead of spending the rest of his days cooped up in a smelly zoo somewhere, Yogi has decided to escape from Jellystone and find a new park to live in.

Yohi has to cross his horizontally scrolling levels, pinching picnic baskets on the way. There's plenty of nasty beasties just waiting to throw some bear steaks on the barbecue, so Yogi had better watch out!

I was very nearly gob-smacked by Yogi's Great Escape. The sound is superb, with a thumping New Order-style soundtrack, and the smooth scrolling is a treat to watch. The animation is no great shakes, but the game is - so check it out!

A great Yogi licence that's an absolute steal at the price, but where's Boo Boo?
