  I bought the game on Saturday and finished it on Sunday. It's a pretty
average run/jump platform game; not the best, but not wretched either. There
are about 30+ levels, consisting of Buster running around, grabbing carrots,
and generally just trying to reach the end. Difficulty is a little below
average; adults will be challenged, but not too much, and younger kids will
take weeks to crack it. There are unlimited continues and a password feature
to make things easier.

  The TTA theme only plays on the first 2 or 3 levels; then the game switches
to other background music. Tiny Toons cameos include Buster, Plucky, Hamton,
Calamity, Dizzy, Dr. Gene Splicer, Montana Max, Gogo, Elmyra, Arnold, the
wolverine, Gotcha Grabmore, assorted Rhoderick Rats, and the troll from "Day
for Knight" (you can tell a true toonster by how he identifies this stuff).
There are very quick in-passing mentions of other toons, but the truth is that
this game can be any other license with a little bit of rework.

  Overall, it's decent, but not wildly exciting. Folks who love platform games
should give this a rental, at least. Tiny Toonsters looking for something a
little more original than a "take generic game and slap new sprites on it" are
suggested to look at BUSTER BUSTS LOOSE, from Konami for the Super Nintendo. It
looks more promising...
