The cartoon licensed coin-op conversion for the Spectrum.
Presentation here is very nice, with good graphics, and an impressive recreation of the music on the menu screen.
The game is proficiently coded and animation is smooth. The letterbox view makes the action feel a little claustrophobic and frustrating compared to the arcade original, but there is still some fun to be had. Sprite graphics and backgrounds are both good, but not when they clash. Still, it comes together well enough to capture some of the cuteness of the arcade and Looney Tunes branding.
Enjoyed playing this a bit as a kid, and just enjoyed a quick game of it now. But now, as back then, I'm finding no compulsion to carry on after a few goes.

I'd like to like it but there are a few unnerving things that spoil it: apparently there are seeds that simply don't want to be picked up, the sprites are well drawn and the background nicely coloured but there are bad instances of colour clash, and when the path is narrow and twisted it's too boringly laborious to go through it. The option screen tune is a nice rendition of the Flight of the Bumblebee, and you can squeeze a couple of minutes of entertainment from the game, still it irritates me.
2,75/5
