A deluxe edition was released in 1987; it featured two disks, improved printer drivers and a shortcut for returning to a previous screen.[1][2] A companion disk was released in 1989.[2]

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]
