Also known as

About Garfield: Caught in the Act

Garfield: Caught in the Act is a platform game where the player controls the cat Garfield. The premise involves Garfield becoming trapped inside a television set, with the objective being to locate pieces of a remote control to escape.

Progress is made by advancing through a series of levels and bonus rounds. A notable feature for its era was the game's visual design, with each of its six stages featuring entirely unique tile art and character costumes.

These levels draw inspiration from classic films, reimagined with a thematic twist involving the protagonist. Examples include settings such as "Catsablanca" and "The Curse of Cleofatra".
