Yogi's Great Escape

The famed cartoon bear is in a whole mess of trouble! Ranger Smith has just been told he has to close down Jellystone Park and send all the animals to new homes in the local zoo. Free spirit that he is, Yogi plans to escape with his pal Boo-Boo and start a new life in New York where he's heard handsome young grizzlies can earn a lot of money.

To escape from each of the six sections, Yogi has to jump across a landscape of cunningly-positioned platforms, dodging hunters and collecting food and the odd pickernick basket for bonus points. It sounds like a million other games, I know, but Yogi's Great Escape is gifted with excellent graphics and very addictive - even mentally stimulating - gameplay which keeps you hooked for quite some time.

Smarter than the average horizontally-scrolling platform game.
