Create with Garfield (MS-DOS)

Create with Garfield was a children's creativity program rather than a conventional game, built around Jim Davis's famous lasagne-loving cat. It let young users assemble their own scenes by placing Garfield and his friends into backgrounds, adding props and speech bubbles, and printing out the results — part digital colouring book, part comic-strip maker.

Titles like this were common in the late 1980s, when publishers of educational software leaned on popular licensed characters to make computers feel friendly and approachable for kids. There is little in the way of goals or scoring here; the appeal was open-ended play and the simple novelty of making something you could print. As software it is a charming period piece, of interest today mainly for nostalgia and as an example of how family computing was marketed to children of the era.
