Now the first thing that really surprised me was the use of Video Graphic Adapter (or simply put VGA graphics). The game was made back in 1989 and VGA was still very new. Off course you can also select CGA or EGA graphics (but they’re not that nice). There are also two pre-set keyboard maps you get to use (and don’t forget space – also useful for leaving the street and going to different houses), or simply use a joystick.
There’s not much sound though (unfortunately). But I guess that would be too much for such a small game size with such great graphics.
As you probably guessed, you’re playing Snoopy. He’s the lovable Beagle owned by Charlie Brown (everybody’s favorite looser). You’ll get to meet Charlie and the rest of the gang in your search for Linus’ blanket.
The game is fairly simple. You need to pick up certain things and bring them to the right person in order to advance. There are no real clues as to what to bring to whom, but it’s really not that difficult. You just need some patience and you’ll get it. And when I say patience, I really mean it. You’ll be moving around really slow.
Well, the game has above average graphics for its time and it is a third person adventure game (which is quite good also), but for the lack of clues as to what you should do and for the slowness of movement (which really can get bothersome), not to mention the awful blipping sound when Snoopy jumps, it doesn’t get a real high mark – I can tell you that.
