Episode 400: Garfield Games
Added 2021-08-27 07:00:03 +0000 UTCFor the past 43 years, Garfield has been an ever-present and extremely popular orange blob within the dwindling world of newspaper comics, and spawned an Indiana-based empire for creator Jim Davis. And with said empire came the creation of landfill-clogging merchandise, which, of course, included video games. On this episode of Retronauts, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Michal as the crew digs through the history of Garfield games like so many layers of piping-hot lasagna. We purposely made this a Patreon-exclusive episode just so it wouldn't post on a Monday!

I had both the genesis and game gear versions of caught in the act. I called the 1-900 Sega number because I was so upset that the genesis game box showed levels that weren’t in the game. Later I was jealous of my friend who had Sega channel because it DID have The Lost Levels as a promotion and never getting to play them. I just stared longingly at the ad promoting it in Sega Visions.
