Description

1 player only.
The California Raisins mad a famous appearance in an unreleased NES game. But an earlier and lesser known game having a similar plot with the shriveled grapes was actually published, and for two different platforms. It is not published or developed by the same people (but undoubtedly still involved CALRAB). Titled simply, The California Raisins on the box; but the title screen shows the full title, The California Raisins and the Cereal Factory. Another surprise is the fact that the raisin characters in this game actually have names. Tiny Goodbite must rescue his friends from the cereal factory, where they are to be sugared and packaged with flakes. Each hazard filled room in the factory has a key guarded by enemies. This is a platform game. The key opens the door to the next room. Falling too far or contacting a hazard or enemy will cost a life. Once the player touches the green platform they can shoot things.

Requires 8088/8086 CPU, 256KB, CGA, DOS 1.0-2.11, PC speaker for sound, keyboard, and optional joystick.
