Garfield - Caught in the Act is a side-scrolling platformer released for the SEGA Genesis in 1995. It hit shelves in both the United States and Europe, published by Sega.

This is no fan hack or prototype; it's a full commercial release that leans on the popularity of the comic strip and cartoon.
How to Play Garfield - Caught in the Act (USA, Europe) Online
Getting Started
Start by selecting a channel from the TV screen - each channel leads to a different themed stage, like a wild west shootout or an underwater adventure. Your goal is simple: run and jump through the level, avoid hazards, and reach the exit. Garfield can stomp on most enemies to defeat them, and you'll collect food items for bonus points.
Hold down the S button to make Garfield sprint, which is essential for clearing larger gaps and outrunning traps. In the air, press down to perform a ground pound that can break certain blocks or stun enemies below you. Each stage ends with a boss fight, usually against a TV-themed villain. Keep an eye on your health bar - you only have a few hits before losing a life. If you need a breather, the pause menu (Enter key) lets you restart the level or quit back to the channel select.
