Gameplay
In this spin-off adventure, George Jetson is ordered by his faithful employer Spacely Sprockets to put a stop to Mr. Cogswell's profit-making schemes;[2] especially that of a dangerous mining facility on planet M38 is being built.[5] This game is a side-scrolling action game where George Jetson can walk, crouch, and jump (with the help of a jet pack).[2] Each level is littered with crates and other items that George can pick up and toss at enemies.[2] Since the game is set in the retrofuturistic world of The Jetsons, there are also a generous amount of switches on walls which can do amazing features.[2]
These features include a switch that can reverse gravity for a brief time, along with other surprises.[2] All of George's family will provide him with tools to meet each challenge that lies ahead. Infinite continues allows players to finish this difficult video game at their leisure.[6]
Eight stages await the player; with several smaller-length levels. The gameplay has been compared to Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers for it's throwing object-focused gameplay style. Despite featuring unlimited continues, it's difficulty is noticeably high.[7]
Reception
Electronic Gaming Monthly assigned this game a 73% rating in its January 1993 issue.[2]
