It was released for the Apple II series, Commodore 64 and IBM PC.

Content

The game allows players to make Garfield cartoons with pieces of artwork of props and characters, along with backgrounds and text. The game functions with a drag-and-drop system used by a keyboard, mouse or joystick.[3]

Reception

Eric Holroyd, in a review for the Australian Apple Review, recommended the game for Garfield fans, especially if mixed with the similar game Teddy Bear-rels of Fun, claiming that "The added bonus of mixing and matching the two will give endless hours of fun for you, your family and your friends".[1]
