Sort of a Pitfall! for younger gamers, Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle was inspired by the children's feel-good cartoon show starring the cutesy blue characters. Players control a Smurf as he walks from left to right, avoiding or jumping over hawks, bats, fences, stalagmites, spiky grass and other easy-to-dodge obstacles. The action in the game is limited in nature, but the music is delightful, and the graphics are colorful, detailed and as cartoon-like as any game from the era.
