If you remember the 80's arcade game Q*Bert, you know what Putt-Putt and Pep's Dog on a Stick is like. Pep's job is to bounce around on his pogo stick picking up bones and other objects. Putt-Putt's job is pick Pep up if he falls. After a few rounds, various rewards and obstacles are introduced such as ice cream, a bear, oil slicks, teleporters and more.

Reactions:
Our 4 year old loves this game! She plays it every chance she gets and likes moving between the levels. She can now go through 4 to 5 levels before Pep falls off. It's nice to have a game solely for entertainment, too. Besides that, the price is right and the title runs from the CD-ROM, so there is no installation to hassle with. We found only one occasional annoyance - when trying to load a game at a higher level, Putt-Putt asks if you want to start back at Level 1. After clicking on NO, we still found ourselves faced with Level 1.
