Garfield: A Big Fat Hairy Deal

Garfield: Big Fat Hairy Deal is a 1987 computer game for the Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and the Amiga based on the comic strip Garfield.

The game is an arcade adventure with platform elements, starring Garfield, who has to rescue his girlfriend Arlene from the cat pound. Garfield starts his quest in Jon's house, and has to venture through streets, dark alleys, and even sewers to find Arlene. Various objects are littered along the way, and Garfield meets characters like Odie, Nermal, and even giant rats, that can help or hinder his quest.

Each room fills one screen, and Garfield can progress into the next room by walking to the edge of the screen. Items can be collected by walking over them, but Garfield can only carry one item at a time, so his current item is left in the new item's place.

In some versions of this game, the background graphics are only in black and white but the sprites show a little color. In other versions (i.e. the Commodore 64 version) the graphics are all full color.
