Playing Yogi Bear (C64)

Hi there!

 

Uihjah, a game for children. Finally something easier, I presume?

Hm... so I figured that this game is based on a Hanna Barbera cartoon, but for the life of me, I can't remember if I've ever seen a single episode of it. Most likely, but in case it apparently was a rather forgettable experience? :ponder:;)

 

The game is surprisingly good though. Really! :)

 

As far as I'm getting the story, Yogi Bears mission is to rescue a little bear, probably his son, which was caught by some park ranger it seems.

 

In order to do so, Yogi has to jump and run a good 200 screens leftward. There's all sorts of troublesome animals and people in the park trying to stop him. Most notably swarms of killer bees :-o On your way you have to collect 8 somethings (flowers perhaps?).

 

Not much more to say, besides that it's not as easy as I thought ;)

 

And they lived happily ever after:

Some future day the "Playing..." series may see another Yogi Bear game in the form of "Yogi's Great Escape", but first it'll continue with something else.

 

Greetings,

Manuel

FYI: Yogi's little friend there is named "Boo-Boo" and their relationship was never explained nor satisfactorily explored in this early, Hanna- Barberra-n, environmentally conscious commentary on US National Parks and their effect on our society and culture. (Not really)

 

Basically, think, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble as unmarried and as bears with a Park Ranger involved to vainly attempt to keep them out of trouble. It centered around the whole "Don't Feed the Bears" warning seen at most national parks. Yogi Bear's passion was stealing and devouring the picnic baskets of Jellystone Park tourists. Boo-Boo was the side kick and Ranger Smith was the "law" and there to lose his temper and get out-smarted most of the time.

Wow, thanks for providing all the background information guys! I really hadn't heard of those. Your best kept secret :thumbsup:

 

The first sentene of your reply Mezrabad, I wish I shared a fraction of that eloquence. You really should write a book some day ;)
