Educational cartoon-creation game featuring Garfield
The briefing
Create with Garfield! is a 1986 educational simulation game developed by Ahead Designs and published by DLM (Developmental Learning Materials). It was released for the Apple II, Commodore 64, Commodore C64/128/MAX, and DOS. A deluxe edition followed in 1987.
Players can select characters or props, choose dialogue, or write their own text. Dialogue can appear in either thought bubbles or speech bubbles. A guided “How to make a Cartoon” screen explains the basic process: select a background, add a stick-on, and save the finished comic to a data disk.
