Disney's Winnie the Pooh: Adventures in the 100 Acre Wood Game Boy Color

A. A. Milne's most famous literary creation springs to life in the palms of your hands with Disney's Winnie the Pooh: Adventures in the 100 Acre Wood for the Game Boy Color. You control lovable bear Pooh as he treks through the woods, encounters his friends, and plays mini-games and board games. You'll help him hunt for honey, go fishing, do exercises, catch acorns, decorate his house, bounce with Tigger, and get unstuck from Rabbit's doorway after eating too much honey. Things can even get a little scary sometimes as Tigger gets lost and Piglet gets caught in a flood.

Most of the board games involve Pooh rolling dice to determine the number of steps he can take to reach a certain spot on the board in a specified number of moves. As you progress through the 100 Acre Woods, encountering friends and playing board games, you will receive mini-games to stock in your cupboard and picture books to put on your bookshelf. Some of the games will even let you play as Eeyore, Tigger, Rabbit, Roo, or Piglet After you have collected all of the books, you can go show them to Christopher Robin.

To help you with the board games, you can collect cards that are scattered throughout the woods. These will enable you to stop the other characters for a couple of turns, remove water from the game board, or plant seedlings in Rabbit's carrot farm. Walking on special steps (such as puddles) will bounce you to another part of the woods, enable you to hide, subtract two from your roll on the die, or make you lose a couple of turns. Landing on a moon, star, or sun step will open up a new road on the map of the woods.

If Pooh gets tired, you can let him take a nap. If you want a break from the gaming action, you can pick out a picture book and read it. A special battery inside the cartridge lets you save your earned mini-games, books, and other progress after you turn off your game system. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
