In a bizarre choice of marketing spiel, the developers promoted this artistic choice as "puppyvision". The backdrops are all from the height of the puppies, which makes tables, beds and suits of armour daunting behemoths to behold. The downside is that it's perhaps a bit too dark making some interactions hard to see. I would even go and say that it outshines any of the Animated Storybooks from the same period. Each location is stunningly realised with detailed pre-rendered backdrops and a quality of animation that befits a Disney game. What follows is an incredibly short adventure that may be aimed at 6-year-olds, but there's also a lot to like for us grown ups too.įirst and foremost is the graphics. Two pups named Patches and Wizzer escape their confines determined to get outta there. The plot takes place half-way through the classic story when the Dalmatian puppies have been kidnapped and kept at Cruella DeVil's run-down mansion. Released in 1997, this game was commissioned to coincide with the live-action movie starring Glenn Close, but the designs are more akin to the original 1961 movie or the animated television series which aired later that same year. Out of their strong line up, there's one game that stands out like a cat in a doghouse - 101 Dalmatians: Escape from DeVil Manor. Sanitarium still sits among the top of my list. While their RPGs based on the Dungeons & Dragons rule set did well, their adventure gaming output were arguably some of the greatest of their time. DreamForge Intertainment had an illustrious career all through the 90s.
From the twisted minds of those who gave us Sanitarium, Veil of Darkness and Menzoberranzan comes this sweet little Disney game.
