That game must have gone up 4x its price since I bought. Crazy. I don't think I would have bought it at these prices either! It's weird, though. I thought Atari game prices were trending downward. Guess not.

I have yet to bust my copy open. Been on such a colecovision kick, everything else has taken a backseat. I'd be interested to know what you think of it though.

At current prices, that thing better not have Actiplaque! I always thought a pumped up Matt Frewer could have played the main character shown on the label in H.E.R.O: The Movie.

I've heard the jumping in smurfs is weird, and dam, I still don't if I'm doing it right. up is jump but it only jumps diagonal if there is no object I need to jump over. it does jump over the obstacles if i hit up again. so basically jump twice. reached smurfette 3 times on my only playthrough. Mr Do's castle is a pretty fun puzzle game I'm still trying to figure out all the rules on. Gateway to Apshai looks like a primitive dungeon crawler. waiting on a controller insert for that one. basically return fire adds to my small boxed 3do collection. somebody actually accepted a fair price on for make an offer. those people are usually clowns on decent offers.

You're playing the Smurfs game "correctly." The controls are just garbage.

Thanks. Smurfs was my favorite cartoon as a kid, so wanted it in the collection. I can work with the controls, now that I know I'm doing it right lol.

What I dislike about the game is just how short the gameplay loop is. I enjoyed it as a kid but it wears real thin real fast.

It was definitely a fanboy purchase. I watched this dude's funny review and still bought it.
