Plot
Garfield must rescue his girlfriend Arlene from the cat pound and then return Jim's map.
Gameplay
Garfield starts his quest in Jon's house, and has to venture through streets, dark alleys, convalescent homes, and sewers to find Arlene. Various objects are littered along the way, and Garfield meets characters like Odie, Nermal and giant rats, that can help or hinder his quest.
In some versions of this game, the background graphics are only in black and white but the sodas show a little color. In other versions (i.e. the Commodore 64 version) the graphics are all full color.
