Game Introduction

This game has some great elements from other games like Donkey Kong, Frogger and Jungle King.

Game Play

You play a flea whose name is Mr. F. Lea. He starts at a crossroads where you can pick the level to play first. He runs up rows of steps while dodging balls and shoes being dropped by a dog. You also try to cross a lawn with moving lawn mowers, then jump from dog to dog trying to get to the dog house as they run around the yard. And even swing from tail to tail as dogs sit on top of the walls.

Trivia

This was the last game produced by Pacific Novelty Manufacturing (PNM). It had a very small run and utilized some the best technology of the time to produce images, sounds and game play. At the time of its release, the video game industry was way down in business and only a certified blockbuster could save the company. As good as this game was, it was not a blockbuster and after its release, PNM sank into the sunset.
