Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle
Original release date(s):[2][3]
|
Release years by system: 1982—Atari 2600, ColecoVision |
| Notes:
Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle is a video game in which the player must brave a series of obstacles to rescue Smurfette from Gargamel's castle. An Intellivision version was planned but never developed or released. Gargamel has kidnapped Smurfette. As a Smurf, the player has to walk from the Smurf village through a forest and a cave on the way to Gargamel's castle, where Smurfette awaits rescue. The player has an energy bar that slowly depletes over time. Each side-scrolling screen presents various obstacles that the player must precisely jump over (e.g. fences, stalagmites) or land upon (e.g. ledges). Failure to execute any jump results in instant death. Higher difficulty levels introduce flying bats and spiders that the player must also avoid. The ColecoVision version of Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle contains an Easter egg (or programming error). Upon reaching Smurfette's screen, the player can return to the previous screen. Just before the screen changes, it will appear as though the top of Smurfette's dress comes off, making her appear topless.[4] Two of the background music tracks are Simple Gifts and the first movement of Ludwig Van Beethoven's 6th Symphony, the "Pastoral". The Coleco Vision version was mentioned in The Big Bang Theory season 4, episode 17, "The Toast Derivation" (February 24, 2011) |

| Notes:
The Smurfs Save the Day is an educational game in the The Smurfs franchise designed for children. It is the third title in the Smurfs video-game series, and it was one of only two games designed for use with the KidVid "voice module" system.[6] Released as a bundle with the KidVid system, The game came with three audio cassettes that were required for gameplay.[7] Attached to the cartridge by cables, the three cassettes each provided music and gameplay elements without which the cartridge alone would not boot.[8] The Smurfs Save the Day is based around the concepts of music, color, and shape. Each of the three concepts is explored individually on its own cassette. Thus, musical games can be played on the "Harmony Smurf" cassette[9][10], color games are playable on the "Greedy Smurf" cassette[11][12], and on the "Handy Smurf" cassette players are presented with games involving shape.[13][14] |
