      Gameplay

      File:TheJetsonsCogswellCaperLevel2.png
      Even in the botanical gardens of the future, George Jetson needs to defeat his foes in order to continue.

      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 a plethora of mini-stages that are extremely short. The gameplay of this video game is oddly reminiscent of the original Kirby video game for the Game Boy. The video game has a difficulty level of "hard" despite the unlimited continues.[7]

      Reception

      Electronic Gaming Monthly assigned this game a 73% rating in its January 1993 issue.[2]
