Snoopy Silly Sports Spectacular! (Nintendo NES)

Hey kids! Come along with Snoopy, his dusty brother Spike and his good pal Woodstock as they prepare to compete in Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular.

With a friend or by yourself, you can give the world's most famous beagle a big hand as he goes for the gold in six funny games filled with thrills and spills, giggles and wiggles.

The Sack Race is our first kooky contest. Ready, set, go! It's Snoopy and Spike hopping against the clock. Watch out! Those manhole covers could easily trip you up.

Now let's try the River Jump. Just fetch a long stick and vault over to the river's other side. Oops. Splash! Oh well, there's always another day and another event.

In fact, with four more games - Boot Throwing, Pogo Steeplechase, Overboard, and Pile of Pizza Race - and with its superior on-screen graphics and realistically rendered characters, there's serious fun for kids of all ages. (Alternative:... there's more fun here than a month of Sunday comics.)
