🎮 Play A Week of Garfield (Prototype) Online (NES)

A Week of Garfield (Prototype) is an early, pre-release build of the notoriously difficult 1989 Famicom platformer developed by MARS Corporation. In this version, players control the iconic comic strip cat as he battles through streets and sewers, kicking enemies to rescue Odie. Discovered by preservationists, this “Ver 0.9” build includes built-in developer cheat codes and minor graphical differences not found in the final Japanese retail game.

How to Play

Navigate Garfield to the end of each stage before the timer runs out, avoiding or attacking mice, birds, and other hazards. This prototype includes special developer features accessible directly from the title screen.

• Arrow Keys: Move
• Z: Jump
• X: Attack
• Enter: Pause
• Shift: Level select (on title screen)

Tips

• Invincibility Cheat: Unique to this prototype, press Down + X (Down + B on the original NES controller) on the title screen to activate developer invincibility.
• Level Select: Use the Shift key (Select) on the title screen to skip ahead to later stages and bypass the game’s infamous difficulty.
