Originally, this game was supposed to be an 'interactive cartoon' in the style of 'Dragon's Lair' but this idea was eventually considered too ambitious for the Spectrum's hardware and dropped (probably for the best, to be honest). The game that was finally released using the Scooby Doo license was a scrolling action-platformer and is actually pretty good. It's very simple gameplay, largely running up and down stairs, jumping gaps and attacking baddies with an attack that makes Scooby look like an extra from the Bangles' 'Walk Like An Egyptian' video; but it's challenging and fun to play and it's never boring.
