PREMISE:          Now you can relive the magic and wonder of the cute
                  little blue guys, created by the Belgian artist Peyo,
                  in this series of arcade games for the MegaDrive.  The
                  Smurfs live in the forest and pretty much smurf to
                  themselves, except when that nasty wizard Gargamel takes
                  it upon himself to smurf with them.  Each smurf has his
                  own talent except for Smurfette, but she doesn't need
                  one - she's the only female Smurf in the whole village!
                  Now that you have the frame, you can smurf the picture by
                  smurfing the games.

IMPRESSIONS:      Like Disney's platformers, these games are every bit as
                  good graphically, but even more sparsely populated with
                  enemies and less fun to play. (Rage Games)

VARIATIONS:       These characters go by various names in different
                  countries.  The appropriate label will be displayed
                  according to the language you select.
