The Bugs Bunny Hare-brained Adventure is another good adaptation of a cartoon license released by Hi-Tech Expressions. Based on a TV episode of Bugs Bunny, you play the famous hare who must find his way out from the mad scientist's tower.
The game is played from an isometric perspective, with crisp graphics that utilize 4-color CGA palette to full advantage. The gameplay involves running from one room in this maze-like tower to the next, avoiding menacing creatures who are sent after you. Since you cannot attack at all, the only way to even up the playing field is to collect various potions that are scattered around the tower. These potions are power-ups that can either harm enemies, or help you in other ways - turning you invisible, for example.
If you love the TV series, you'll enjoy this fun game that preserves its gentle sense of humor while offering a solid arcade-style gameplay. Recommended.

I was finally able to beat the game. I installed it into a DOS virtual machine, so I could use save-state snapshots on the virtual machine to keep re-trying if I was instantly killed while going through doors. The ending sequence is very underwhelming for the amount of effort required to beat it. heh.
I have the entire game mapped out on a grid with an optimal sequence of directions to go. Yet I still haven't been able to beat the game because of the insta-death when going through a door that has an enemy directly on the other side.
Nice idea, but the spawn of enemies punish you unjustly!
I remember playing this as a kid and I also remember it being very very hard.
not bad
