A week of adventure with the world’s favorite comic strip cat!
A Week Of Garfield is somewhat infamous as a poor-quality licensed NES game. It is not quite as bad as its reputation, but it’s very flawed and unforgiving.
This hack greatly improves the character graphics for Garfield, and alters other character and item graphics, along with other improvements and corrections.
This hack features:
– Overhauled graphics, especially Garfield and the UI.
– Start with full health.
– Level select. Press Select at the title screen to skip stages, then press Start.
– New font in the style of “Search for Pooky” for the Game Boy Advance.
– All text converted to ASCII format.
– Graphical bugs fixed, like how the lasagna powerup is rendered.
– Palette bugs fixed, like the incorrect palette of the Mice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
