About the Game:br Garfield: Caught in the Act[b] is a 1995 side-scrolling platform game developed and published by Sega for the Genesis and Game Gear. A Microsoft Windows version followed. It is based upon Jim Davis' comic strip cat, Garfield, and draws inspiration from Davis' 1984 book Garfield: His 9 Lives. Odie scares Garfield while they are watching television and they fall on the TV, breaking it. Both characters attempt to repair it before Jon Arbuckle catches them; however, the thrown spare parts become an electronic monster known as the Glitch, transporting Garfield into the TV, where he must defeat him in order to get out.br br Garfield: Caught in the Act was met with mixed reception from critics.br br An exclusive version of the game known as Garfield: The Lost Levels was distributed for the Genesis via the Sega Channel subscription service for three months beginning in February 1996.[3] It features three levels that were originally intended for, but cut from, the main release ("Bonehead the Barbarian", "Alien Landscape", and a modified version of "Catsablanca").[16] Due to the Genesis not saving the ROM data of downloaded Sega Channel titles after the console was powered off, Garfield: The Lost Levels became inaccessible to the public after its broadcast was complete. However, in September 2024, the Video Game History Foundation announced that they had acquired a playable build of The Lost Levels. It was publicly shown at the 2024 Portland Retro Gaming Expo, and later released online in December 2025.
