Muppet Adventure is a lackluster collection of five boring action games based on Jim Henson’s beloved Muppets characters. The games are highly derivative of well-known arcade games, the animations are choppy, the graphics awful in 4-color CGA where everything looks too red, and the controls non-intuitive. Fans of the show are well advised to hunt for a copy of Starwave’s excellent Muppets Inside CD-ROM instead of putting themselves through this appalling collection of repetitive mini-games that do the series no justice at all. The game even offers a two-player mode, although that’s dragging someone else to suffer with you. Thumbs down for this Real Dog.
