Hack description

Find out why everybody's calling on Dr. Garfield.

(This may sting a little.)

Looking for an intense new challenge?
Dr. Garfield is here and he's got the cure!

Three kinds of ugly, nasty viruses are on the loose. But these germs are fun to catch. Garfield throws multi-colored vitamin capsules into the bottle. You can move, shift or spin the capsules as they fall. Arrange them to align with other capsules on top of the virus. If you can get 4 or more of the same color in a row, POOF! The viruses disappear! Destroy all the viruses in the bottle and you progress to the next round, where things get even more difficult. Play alone or enjoy simultaneous 2-player action, only from Nintendo on your Nintendo Entertainment System or Nintendo Game Boy.

Dr. Garfield—the fun is contagious!

Great Play Experience.	pspjoe	2022-10-08	Version 23
Great Hack. Beautiful Artwork. You like Garfield, You will like this. You like Dr Mario, You will also like this. Complete on his own. Thanks

Great Hack (Review Edited)	Uncle_Jo	2022-08-02	Version 22
Initially when I reviewed this game, there must have been something wrong with my emulator, because it was playing too fast. If you have that problem, just reset the game. After fixing that snafu, this game plays beautifully. If you have played Dr. Mario, it's like that, but with Garfield! The kids like it, I like it. Dr. Mario is my niece's fav game, and she likes cats, so there you go. This is one of the best hacks on the site IMO, I recommend it.

Thanks, I hate it!	don_piano	2020-10-29	Version 2.0
I never knew I didn't want this, but now it's here. Good freakin' job. The transition to Garfield feels seamless. If you played Dr. Mario but though, "Man, what this game really needs is Garfield," then is this the romhack for you.
