Cabbage Patch Kids' Adventure In The Park (CBS Electronics)
You control Anna Lee, one of the Cabbage Patch Kids, and she is taking a walk through the park.
The first obstacle Anna Lee faces is a pond. She has to grab a swinging vine, jump onto a lily pad and then catch another vine. She then has to show off her jumping abilities - she has to jump her way across four trampolines. You can make her jump high to catch an apple in one of the trees overhead for extra points.
As well as trampolines Anna Lee also has to jump over puddles and on and off blocks and fountains.
Along with these main obstacles, Anna Lee also has to jump over rocks, cabbages, rolling balls and fires, and dodge dandelion puffs and fish jumping from the puddles.
There are 50 screens that Anna Lee has to make her way through, each one more difficult than its predecessor. You stay in Babyland Park until all your three kids fall over. If one does fall down she will cry for a few seconds and shake her fists! The Kids also have to leave the park before dark so there is a time limit on the game.
Despite its slight similarities to Pitfall, this game is very enjoyable to play. Even though the game is based on a bunch of dolls, its difficulty level is quite high, but I do not think this would put off any determined child.
Graphics are excellent and sound is average. A very pleasant game and suitable for the very young as well as the more seasoned player.
