DESCRIPTION

In Bear George, you maneuver a bear around various scenes while devouring honey and avoiding hazards. Located at the bottom of the screen is a scale that shows how much the bear weighs. In order to succeed, you'll have to move the scale to the far right. When the bear fails to munch on his favorite food, he will lose weight and the scale will move to the left.

Scenarios include avoiding skiers on a snow-covered mountain, evading the zoo patrol, and devouring falling morsels in a forest. In the forestlevel, you must position the bear under the falling honey and have him look up. Watch out, though — there are hands located in the trees that drop hurtful items on the bear's head! On the snow-covered mountain level, downhill skiers will plow into the innocent bear. To avoid these baddies, you must climb the mountain.

When the zoo patrol comes, however, you'll have to use evasive tactics. If the bear is captured, a life is lost. You have three chances to tip the scale — make them count! While the game contains multiple scenarios, each level is a single 2D screen. Bear George is for one player, so aid the bear in his quest to become fat off his favorite food! ~ Matthew House, All Game Guide
