101 Dalmatians

About

101 Dalmatians by Tiger Electronics is a handheld puzzle game for LCD screens. You guide a character through maze-like levels to collect all 101 spotted pups while dodging obstacles and enemies. The grid-based controls are simple but require timing and reflexes. Each level increases in difficulty with tighter paths and faster hazards. The objective is clear and repetitive but relies on quick decision making to avoid losing progress. The game stands out for its straightforward design and portability. Released in 1992 it feels very much like a product of its era with minimal graphics relying on the player's imagination to fill in details. Community mentions note how the challenge curve can frustrate but the short levels make it easy to keep trying. At just a few bucks in the 90s it was a common novelty item. Nostalgia factor is high for those who remember fumbling with the buttons on long car rides.
