The Mystery of Garfield: The Lost Levels | Retro Rampage

- Garfield: Caught in the Act is an often-overlooked game for the Sega Genesis. Although short in length, it's an enjoyable game that follows Garfield on an adventure through TV land. What most don't know, however, is that the game was meant to be much longer. What happened to these "Lost Levels" as they are called? The answer is simpler than you might think.
Special thanks to Jack Bosley for contributing his copy of Garfield: Caught in the Act for this video.

I owned Sega Channel from 1995-1998. Garfield The Lost Levels was a fave and it was indeed the title on the screen. The Viking level you faught a Opera Viking that caused avalance balls, the Alien level had alot of bubble jumping, and the Catsablonca train was fun. Before each level the game had a screen about the level and why it was cut. The Viking snow level was cut because the team felt it didn't quite capture that "sonic 3 ice cap" look it said. If I ever uncover my VHSs of Sega Channel, they may have footage.
Thank you for all this new information! I hope you can find those VHS tapes. Footage of the game is nearly impossible to find.
Hey man if you still have that tape you may have saved history
@@RampagingRex that space level was actually included on the PC version of the game.
There is footage of the cut bonehead the barbarian level
"The lost levels" wasnt made up by fans. It was the actual official title of the three level game that was released on Sega Channel. I remember it being called the lost levels on the official game list. So fans didnt just make up that name.
“I ate those levels”

Mario: *You're'a not the only one with'a lost levels. I'a hate them to'a.*
Oh woow cool
I had Sega Channel back in the day and I can confirm how the third level was a space level, when you mentioned it I was all like "oh yeah, I think I remember there being a space level when I played that game"
the space level is in the PC version, also a promotional shirt for caught on the act has slobbin hood garfield and space garfield
I had the PC version and loved it. The weird thing though was that the music never worked for some reason (on my computer anyway).
I found this game recently and tried it in all my 9x virtual machines. Only on windows me the music worked fine
This game is so beautiful
Wow I'm surprised I never even heard of this until now WOW!
This is one of the few game gear games I own
What other ones do you own I got three Sonic 1 and 2 and a Hulk game (planning to get more soon since I am getting a new screen for it the old one crapped out on me)
What?, no. There were demo levels that were just called the lost levels because they weren't part of the actual game and they wern't even finished. The snow level was nice, I barely remember the second, and the other one the entire map wasn't even drawn, it just kinda ends. Everything in the actual full game is just way better. Playing the beta levels actually made me think it wasn't worth trying and I kinda just ignored the game entirely afterward.
They should have done the lock on thing like sonic 3 and knuckles, Anyway given M2's behavior lately finishing old games, maybe there still may be a chance that a "director's cut" could happen, I mean I can't see Jim Davis saying no to something that would pay him royalties. Maybe with a Sega Mini Mach 3 featuring some of the 32 x games.
I completed both games on SEGA Channel, this brings back memories.
I hate Mondays.
Man, the cut part of Casablanca where you ride the train is hard.
Really hard. Neither me or any of my foster brothers could beat it, and it was pretty morbid considering you constantly get hit by a train and die. 🙄
If the ever do a remaster of this game it will be entitled; "Garfield & Odie; Adventures in PC Land". All the levels, including the 3 that were mentioned, Odie being playable as well with his own set of moves. A completely different storyline; which involves a cartoon version of Jim Davis being kidnapped by Glitch and it's up to Garfield and Odie to him. The original genesis/PC version of this game. Oh the possibilities!
I actually use to really like this game.
Granted, I was seven or eight when it came out, so anything would've impressed me back then, but still a fun and decent game to check out if you've dismissed it.
Ferb, I think I know what we are going to do today!
Edit: Thanks for the heart
An even weirder question is wether or not the Slobbin' Hood level actually made it to the Genesis version in any way, plus we *do* know the Rome level got scrapped at the planning stages however
The only one of the lost levels we actually have Genesis footage of is Bonehead the Barbarian, so the existence of Slobbin' Hood on Genesis is solely backed up by personal recollection of those who played it on Sega Channel.
@@RampagingRex Thats bizzare as most people only appear to mention Alien Landscape, Bonehead *and* the train section of Catsablanca, furthermore there's actual high resolution screenshots taken from beta and preview builds in gaming magazines of the 3-said levels, there's no mention of Slobbin' Hood or really any concreate proof of it once being on a beta version, being cut or was in the Lost Levels, its possible it was simply a game gear exclusive from the get-go.
FYI The space level is in the PC version of the game, which is most likely why most people here remember playing it
I think two of the lost levels are on the game gear version
sonic 1 got a proto dump after a 15 year search
perhaps garf's time will come too
I hope so! That Sonic 1 prototype is amazing!
my dad worked on the game, there was 43 planned levels. I don't think that they're ever going to be brought back sadly
Well yeah i played the space level. But today i can't find any vid of it. It was too difficult. I almost conpleted the game but that level was too tough.
If you looked for the prototype that might contain it on genesis.
Top 10 holy grails in anime
I got my brothers game gear as a hand me down and the only game I bought for it was Garfield caught in the act. Not sure I got past the first level.
I remember playing this game. It was quite good.
How big are the ROMs anyway? I'd imagine that file size would dictate whether it is practical to lock on the cartridges.
The Garfield ROM isn't even THAT big, it's only 2 MB, while the absolute maximum back in the day was 4 MB (and then Capcom somehow managed to make a 5 MB cart with Super SF 2, but that had some special black magic to it). They could've easily crammed those levels in there, so it's likely that the time constraints were at fault here.
You deserve alot more subscribers and Internet exposure
Here are a couple seconds of Bonehead the Barbarian level

THIS IS HUGE
I think my friends dad plaued the game before i would ask him it's to much work to dig up a grave taking out the.
i wonder what would the boss be in these levels?
Reminds me of gex.
Sad that there wasn't a Nintendo port of the game, it would of worked well if was a SNES game as well...
I don't think that would've been possible since the game was actually developed by SEGA interActive
@@ToaderTheToad Ah okay, that makes sense.
Where did you find the logo?
Which logo?
Garfield The Lost Levels
I made it!
are you gonna do a hersheypark documentary?
YE GARFELF!
I am the new cat Garfield will you be allies or enemies
Yeah I played this game on the Sega Channel I beat it when I was a kid but I swear I played three of them I thought that there was three Garfield games
This lines up with another story that involves some levels not being drawn we may be onto something
@@Matias-fh2hf yes I distinctly remember me playing three Garfield games maybe it was my imagination
@@Matias-fh2hf I swear I played three Garfield games
@@Matias-fh2hf when I found this video I was looking up how many Garfield games was out I'm only seeing one I could have sworn I played three
how was the last comment 1 year ago lmao
The real mystery is why the prehistoric level is saturated with semen
An waste opportunity for a Lock On cartridge.
Waste of 4 apparently there were 43 planned levels
@@Matias-fh2hf HOLY S#IT! 43 levels? May l see the source?
Not to be mixed up with Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels.
I like Garfield
