A playthough of Cybersoft's 1994 license-based platformer for the Super Nintendo, Adventures of Yogi Bear.
I don't know about all you guys, but Yogi Bear was a staple of my childhood. Like so many other Hanna Barbera cartoons, my sister and I used to watch Yogi in his search for pic-a-nic baskets in Jellystone Park every Saturday and Sunday morning while our parents were getting up and doing stuff to start their day.
I remember being a bit surprised when it came out. Hanna Barbera games weren't the subject of console games very often (I was only aware of Wacky Races and Flintstones on NES at that point), but even though it was a game apparently aimed at a younger age group, I felt compelled to rent it when I saw it.
And I wasn't disappointed by it. It was a nicely put together, super-simple platformer. There were no novelties, no gameplay gimmicks - just hold right, jump on the bad guys, and collect the items - and it worked well.
Playing it again, I still love it for its simplicity. It goes on for way too long, and the last stage is thoroughly frustrating thanks to the playing field being constantly obscured by foreground objects, but overall, you couldn't ask for a better game for kids.
The graphics are excellent - it sounds lame to say it, but look at how pretty it manages to be! - and the soundtrack is unbelievably good at sounding like the small instrument ensembles that would do music for older cartoons. Some of these tunes here are among the best I've ever heard from a SNES. That's not something you'd necessarily expect out of a game based on a cheaply produced kids show.
So in the end, Yogi doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does provide a fun bit of shallow entertainment for anyone that's pining for some reminder of their childhood, or for anyone wanting to share that with their kids.
