Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where players control woodland creatures who raid a suburban neighborhood for food and gadgets. They must navigate various locations, including a theme park and an exterminator's lair, while dodging traps and enemies. The game can be played solo or cooperatively with a friend.
Story
Story
Verne, a protective turtle, and his family of woodland creatures awaken from hibernation to find a mysterious green leafy wall along the edge of their home—the hedge! RJ, a charming raccoon who's lived with humans for years, appears and offers to help.
RJ introduces them to Rancho Camelot Estates, a place filled with food, humans, and gadgets. Verne is initially skeptical, but the aroma of tasty treats proves too strong for the critters to resist. They begin raiding suburbia for cookies, pizza, and various gizmos.
Gladys Sharpe, president of the Rancho Camelot Homeowners Association, hires Dwayne, an exterminator, to deal with the "vermin infestation." Dwayne specializes in camouflaged traps and places them throughout the neighborhood.
Navigating the backyards becomes tougher as the animals must dodge traps and avoid obstacles. After his first traps backfire, Dwayne invents a control cap that pits animal against animal.
Gameplay
Play by yourself or with a friend as Verne the turtle, RJ the raccoon, Hammy the squirrel, or Stella the skunk.
Locations
Rancho Camelot Estates
Rancho Camelot is the human community that has taken over your forest home. It's also where all the yummy snacks are stored. Tread lightly because if Gladys sees you, she'll call Dwayne the Exterminator!
Western Theme Park
The animals venture even further away from their forest home when they enter this zany theme park. Avoid the park owner, the guard dog, and crazy traps. Fight your way through the shooting gallery, a mini-golf course, and a final battle against the theme park owner to score the ultimate food prize!
VermTech
This is where Dwayne the Exterminator devises his evil plans and creates the latest hi-tech artillery for his war on vermin. Your survival skills will truly be put to the test in this ultimate battle!
Vincent's Cave
