Back in the day, when I had an SNES (version 2), and five games, one of those five games was Inspector Gadget. I got the game because I really liked the cartoon when I was growing up. The game, from what I remember, did not disappoint (mind you I was 12 at the time).

I never really got an opportunity to finish the game (a mix of family issues, eventual theft of my SNES and associated games, and relocation to the US), but when the golden age of emulation started, it was one of the first games I played on an emulator, and my response to it was a bit different. I don’t know if I had changed, if it just felt different playing it on a computer monitor than a television, or if using a keyboard instead of an SNES game pad was a turn off.

I still like the game. The game play wasn’t bad, and the aesthetics were in line with what I consider Inspector Gadget aesthetics to be. All things considered, it wasn’t a bad platformer.

This game video will give you a sense of how the game looked and played.
