Just to be nice, I play all four skill levels to show that it is not totally a basic game. Your goal is to make a series of jumps to score points and stay alive as you can die in the stupidest ways possible. -

I'm old enough to remember when those graphics seemed like jaw-dropping cartoon-quality animation.
Hell yeah. I was fascinated. I'm 49 years old now.
yes!..lol
Same!
They were great for the time. I remember being thrilled about how the Colecovision could draw diagonal lines. There were some awfully good arcade ports, and it was great to be able to play some of the recent arcade classics at home. I do have fond memories of playing Smurf's Rescue on Colecovision
Well this was Really wonderful at the time. You had your love for the smurfs AND you had a relatively good video game console. Now, for some HE-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
For those of you who never owned a Colecovision, you have no idea how difficult those jumps could be!
J Tommy75 They are hard as hell
I had difficulty getting past the first damn stage! The Coleco controller was not as easy to maneuver as a Nintendo controller, for example.
Trust me, i know i got one recently. With this game, kind of disappointed that this is all there is to this game.. Only 1 stage XD.
I'm 2 years younger than you (born in 1977) and I DO remember.
Simply joystick up for a jump
This game deserves alot more recognition in video game history. It is ground breaking as far as side scrolling goes. Simply stated, if there were no "Smurfs" in 1982, there would be no "Super Mario" in 1985
BS
yeah. cool. there's only one problem. there's no 'side scrolling' in smurfs.
@@drzazgi666 You must be fun at parties.
Holy hell does this bring back memories. This was my favorite game as a kid. Born in ‘71. Thanks for posting!
I remember being a little kid, starting the game, misjudging the first jump, bumping into a fence and dying, and realizing at a young age what disappointment is.
For 1982 those graphics were astounding!
The smurf death is so abrupt that it’s hilarious
The smurf didn't die apparently, according to the manual the smurf "Got to tired to continue"
My daughter thinks it's hilarious too. 😂
This was defiantly a precursor to Super Mario Brothers. Can't believe there was just 3 years between them.
Such fun memories.
Weird part is, I actually enjoyed this as a kid. This was one of the very first games I can remember playing. Course I was probably 4 years old at the time.. lol.
This and Carnival were my two favorite Colecovision games
Same here. I remember this and battle tanks on Atari.
I remember this game I actually liked it but I think near the later levels it was really difficult they didn't need a bat it was already hard enough 😁
Same. I think I was 4 as well. The Smurfs were my favorite cartoon and the graphics actually looked like the cartoon. So I could identify with the narrative struggle. Our generation was too young to be enthralled by the space-game/pacman era, which didn't rely much on music or character development. The NES would later introduce far more fleshed out platform concepts which captured the mind, body and soul of our generation. You could actually make a not-too-specious argument that Super Mario Bros., with jump-based platforming and the princess rescue, was a spiritual successor to "Smurf Rescue"
This, zaxxon and ladybug were my favorite
I remember first seeing this game when I was 14 (I’m old). The graphics and music back then blew me away. The smurf is extremely detailed even for a CV game.
So true
This was one of my all time favorite games growing up, so many good memories.
You are so sexy
These graphics were mind blowing back in 1982 - the best graphical representation of a cartoon (as opposed to Dragon’s Lair, which was a videodisc) created up to that point. ;)
Being 6 when all of these great games came out. Smurfs, Zaxxon, Turbo, Donkey Kong, Mousetrap. So much fun and simple. This paved the way for Mario Bros.. Ahh, The 80s..
I used to walk to a Target store about two miles from my house to play this game on a Colecovision they had set up as a demo. I thought it was awesome at the time. My brother and I would usually play for about thirty minutes or so and some employee would chase us off. Fun times. We had an Atari 2600 at home at the time and played the crap out of that too.
This is one of my best early gaming memory . And Popeye
LEVEL LAYOUTS:
Woods; Fields; Cavern; Fields; Woods; Castle
Each scene has two screens in Skills 1, 2, 5 and 6, three in Skills 3 and 7, and four in Skills 4 and 8.
Skills 2 and 6 are similar to Skills 1 and 5, respectively, except for the addition of the hawk in the woods and fields scenes, bats in the cavern scenes, and spiders in the castle scenes, and also 300-point targets in the fields and caverns.
Way better graphics and games than Atari 2600.
Dude, I thought Colecovision looked better than the NES but not the Sega Master System so I went with the Sega and loved it
Hardly surprising it was better than the 2600 - it was designed almost 6 years later with the specific intention of bringing "arcade-quality" graphics and sound into the home.
@@dunebasher1971 it was also called the "next generation" of systems in 1982, the same year as the 5200, and Arcadia 2001, so comparing it to the previous generations system from 1977 is like saying the Genesis looked so much better than an NES- gee, I wonder why! If Wikipedia would do accurate research from the time, there was a short-lived generation from 1982 to 1985 that the Coleco, 5200 and Arcadia were all in, and all died within a year of each other.
@@joeb2588 Nes is 2 times more powerful than coleco
My primary school usd to have a colecovision and this was one of the games they had for the system 26 years ago when I was 9 and we used to play it during break or if we’d been good. It’s was played on an old black and white television set and the music played a lot more slower than this version, probably because it was pal version since I’m from the U.K. we used to laugh and make the smurf double jump which made him sound like he was farting lol used to scare me once bats started showing up in the caves in the later levels.
born in 73 i remember this with the bats and spiders. My best friend got the console. I remember tobogganing all day and playing coleco afterwards. Then I got a Nes few years later. Lived in a very rural area. Good child hood. Had motorbikes too. Kick ass childhood.
This has to be the happiest game. Nobody is trying to kill you and you are just walking around freely.
In the harder levels they do try to kill you. And they succeeded at killing you as well. 😆
The birds, bats and spiders all try to kill you!
This game was not as easy as it looks!!!
Everything's just fine and dandy! What a nice game! This is the happiest game ever made!
-AVGN
Just the sounds of this game brings me back to some great memories.
Not sure why they chose that tune instead of the Smurfs tune though.
I remember never making it over that first fence back in the day and giving up.
same
This game has one of the stupidest deaths in history simply touching some grass
haha I love how the smurf dies at the end, just a thump!
I used to love this game. I can't remember, but isn't ducking/squatting down an option rather than walking backwards to avoid the bat?
It was. And then you still got hit. 😅
Can you imagine playing a soft, sweet game like this in the 1980s, then taking a time machine to today and playing Fallout 4? Kids would take a dump in their pants.
These type of comments are always the worst. Like you wouldn’t shit your pants at what’s going to be around in 30 years from now. Here’s the thing: you’ve got it backwards. Tech constantly improves and gets better. It would be more astounding to jump in the time machine and NOT see a difference.
@@BlownMacTruck Lighten up and don’t be so miserable.
@@NemeanLion- Sorry, idiotic comments with no redeeming value or thought behind them irk me.
@@BlownMacTruck You sound like you’re fun at parties. Considering we’re giving opinions on something that is subjective, please explain how it’s “idiotic”.
The music instant flash back as a kid about 4 years old.... simpler days 😀
I played this game for hours and hours. I really enjoyed Colecovision.
"This is the happiest game ever made" - AVGN :v
Kenshin 811 I was just watching that episode! It brought me here. He only scratched the surface, it seems you can get killed by a blade of grass, or walking into a gate! :/
Set difficulty lvl to 4, there is a bat constantly trying to kill you.
Pretty easy when you're playing difficulty level 1: no hawks, bats, or spiders.
WoooW just when you tout that pac land might be the true first platformer with scrolling,but the smurfs just might predate it by 2 years,i can tell you this is stunning inevery way.
I was literally 4 or 5 years old playing this and it was the most magnificent thing I had ever seen. My favorite was that cave area with the black and purple lol.
Also couldn't help but notice, but the background theme for this game is simple gifts.
If I remember correctly I thought that you could duck when the bats came??
You got that right.
Yuppers!!! Thata boiiiii!
Do a high jump (double tap up on the joystick) instead if the bat flies low enough that you can't duck.
I was so impressed with these graphics when my brother got a Colecovision.
Whenever at one of the local stores in the electronics section of toys, they have a Coleco vision console, I play this religiously till my parents finished checking out their groceries at the checkout counter and ready to go home. Good times in 1982-83 as a kid.
I was 10. At French stores, I could not believe my eyes. Smurfs was playing on the old TV. I thought it was animated and as colorful as a movie anime.
I was frozen, and I dreamt to play.
We never saw such a quality before.
But, with the french Tilt magazine, I discovered the Vectrex and it was a great competitor, different, but the speed of the vector graphics, the incorporated screen, the huge quality sound, that brilliant glowy colorful lights vectors, get me and I chose the Vectrex.
But colecovision and Vectrex was complementary systems.
I know this game looks ridiculously primitive now but in ‘82 this was cutting edge for a home console, compared to the raw, blocky graphics of Atari and Intellivision.
Very a head of it's time this game. Supreme Graphics and mazes. 10 out of 10. Amazing fun 🎮 game.
When I was little, I saw that line through the table behind Smurfette and thought she was a cardboard decoy supported by a stick.
This is the happiest game ever made.
I only vaguely remember this game. I was born in '81 and the ColecoVision is what we had prior to a Nintendo. Floppy disk games were much better in that era.
My family was so poor we owned this 1982 game in the early 90s. Same with Calecovision.
Fun fact: If you walk off the screen just as you enter the room with Smurfette in it, she closes her eyes and her dress falls off. I'm not kidding.
😂
No it doesn't. It's just a graphics glitch caused by a limitation in the TI graphics chip.
Is the whole game literally JUST WALKING TO THE RIGHT?
Digging Deeper #01 yes
Digging Deeper #01 I remember this as a mind numbingly boring game
Wasn't Super Mario Bros. more eventful though?
1982! This was a breakthrough after pong and Atari!
And jumping!
Man, I played this game over at a friend's house as a kid. Noone could get past the first fence. I came here wondering what the rest of the game looks like. I can't believe that's it haha
I know the opening tune is "Simple Gifts," but the rest I never could figure out.
Ran across a C64 version of this once, unauthorized no doubt, that was underscored by "Billie Jean."
they are other classical music tunes, not uncommon
Wooooooow somehow I almost forgot about this game. Funny enough, I don't ever remember finishing the game. Watching it now I remember why, it was super long. Might have been one of the games that started me on the road to carpal tunnel syndrome!
so many memories of 2008 when I was reliving the 80s.
Yeah, how could you go wrong with a game about the Smurfs? All you do is keep walking right. Nobody’s trying to kill you everything is fine and dandy. What a nice game. This is the happiest game ever made.
That's some intense platforming right there
In 1982 these gfx were insane compared to the Atari 2600. We actually stood in line to play this shit (+ Zaxxon and Scramble on the Vectrex^^) in a toystore which had setup a Colecovision to test
The graphics were outstanding, back then.
I’d play this fame for hours at my grandma’s house!
I had this song in my head (from playing so many hours as a kid). Came to the internet to find a playthrough so I could hear it again.
An adaptation of Aaron Copland's "Simple Gifts."
I remember those flying bats that gave me PTSD as a five year old
The cabbage patch kids one was very difficult. With those lily pads and swinging ropes!!! Plus playing it backwards was alway fun too!!!! Bring back the Colecovision!!! Please for the love of the games,!!!
I didn't even like the Smurfs but I loved this game.
I remember when this came out. It was really advanced especially more than atari. Looking at it now I can't imagine why we like it so much
Who knew Smurfs were so clumsy that they killed themselves by merely walking about?
omg I remember this game. It was pretty difficult. That skull at the end is a lot smaller than I remember!
You didn’t do the trick that makes Smurfette naked. Real Easter egg.
There's something weird about this game, I know it kind of sucks because almost no content and totally minimal gameplay but I like it :)
I played this game when I was two back in the early 80s. Did this game just go on forever?
Those jumps were hard af
Wow this was like one of the best games ever
OH boy, this brings back nightmares. To get deep into the game just to die landing on a weed. The horror of it. I can't watch to this day. Did you see the second jump up to the girl, ass pucker, lol.
The 'Groundhogs Day' of videogames....loool
I remember playing this when I was like 5 years old, I and a friend would make all sorts of dirty smurf jokes (as dirty as a 5 and 6yo could make) and we'd laugh our asses off.
man, childhood was something.
this was a great game back then.
I know the title of the video didn't fit anymore, but "Rescue in Gargamel" sounds so wrong. XD
Perhaps it was "Rescuin' Gargamel" but the game developers changed it at the last minute?
No, the full title is: "Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel's Castle".
Also, why would the Smurfs rescue their archenemy?
It means Smurfette was held captive by Gargamel in his castle.
I know that. But I was referring to the title of the video...
Thanks for the nostalgia trip. One of my earliest video game memories. Friend down the street had a Colecovision. Played this game for hours. It sucked but your options were very limited back then. ;) A couple years later I would see Super Mario Bros at another friend's house and things would never be the same.
Pick a tune and stick with it, for christ's sake!
Why did you die at 19:32?
They ran out of energy. Energy resets each area. On the harder difficulties where the critters get in the way, running low on energy becomes an issue.
@@DavidRomigJr Just as in Super Mario Bros., you cannot run backwards. You can, but I mean your energy meter will not increase until you enter new scenery.
It keeps repeating, no?
Yes, it does. There was to be a Super Game version of this for the Coleco Adam, but it was canceled. That version obviously had more and interesting stages such as one that is snowbound.
title is missing "castle". Plz update
This was the first video game I ever played in 1983-ish
Wow looking back at the Graphics now at 40yrs Old CV Definitely Nailed the Likeness of a Smurf Compared to How Ataris Block version of ET! Et by Atari Was Literally made of All Blocks and it Definitely Showed
Esa música por siempre grabada en mi memoria🥰🥰🥰
what happened to the bird and a spider ?
this was our jam in 1984
who else think that nes dragon's lair is a masterpiece now ?
I remember bats in this game coming down and getting you am i wrong?
Never mind they are in here just later but i remember them being in the game much sooner for some reason
They can be avoided if you duck if they don't fly too close toward your head, otherwise high jump them instead.
Other than lack of scrolling this looks like a NES game.
poor mans cabbage patch kids adventures in the park.
Which music is Beethoven's 6th Symphony? Any1? Any1? Bueller? Bueller?
When you enter the caves with the bats and in Gargamel's Castle.
@@ClassicTVMan1981X thank you, Simone.
For those of you who never played this game on the first try, you have no idea how to move and how to jump it's so difficult in the Atari version it's easy, but on the Coleco vision, it's complex.
You'd figure Azriel would have taken care of this bat infestation!
So it's any Smurf except Handy, Greedy, Hefty, Brainy, Vanity, Painter, Tailor, Miner, Clumsky, and Papa Smurf.
This and cabbage patch kids were my FAVORITE!
don't you mean garbage pail kids?
The music to this game is awesome..
I have fond memories of this game 😁
No one's gonna talk about how to get Smurfette to drop her dress?!
When you jump into the screen scroll the jump sound would glitch.
did u notice, gargamel's castle looks like castlevania?
Interesting to see after all of these years, but how many smurfing levels are there?!
I remember this game. Same level over and over and over. lol
Proof of the Matrix.
