_________________________

Early Radarsoft game featuring Snoopy from the Peanuts stories.A simple 'jump 'n Run' game that gets increasingly difficult with every screen.
There seems to be no references to any other characters from the  Charles M. Schulz comic.

Now, the cover is interesting ;  it features 'Bango',  clearly an other character than Charlie Brown's beloved pet. This dog is featured in the French version of the game. Also on covers of the game, the title says "Johnny" instead of "Snoopy" . Possibly a reference to of one of Radarsoft's programmers  : John Vanderaart.

Description

"The Peanuts" is one of the most successful comic series in which the American author and illustrator Charles M. Schulz (1922–2000) describes the inconsistencies of human life by means of a group of US-American suburban kids, being released in daily strips over decades.
Next to Charlie Brown, who is shown as the everlasting loser and is in a certain sense the main character of the Peanuts, Snoopy, Charlie Brown's dog, is the probably most well-known member of the Peanuts. He only behaves species-appropriate. Most of the time he lies on the roof of his dog kennel and abandonds himself to philosophical thoughs while waiting for the food. In 1984, he was dedicated an own C64 game with "Snoopy" a Jump'n'Run with a simple game principle.

Design

A game from a time when Jump & Runs found their feet, it is about steering Snoopy through 20 tricky levels. If you have made it, you restart at level 1 only with higher speed. The obstacles can be simple holes, moats, laser beams and more. The graphics is still simple for 1984, the levels are painted a bit lovelessly. Concerning the sound it is hardly any better, when Snoopy moves you hear scuttle steps, when jumping there is a sound, approx:"huiu-huiu", as a background sound the tune from the movie "The Sting" is synthesized in the sound processor.
