First of the two Infogrames Smurfs games on Master System, this 1994 platformer circulated in Europe and Brazil on a four-language cartridge. More widely distributed than its around-the-world sequel, it nonetheless remains a late tie-in whose sealed copies have grown scarce. Its appeal rests mainly on the well-liked family licence and its standing as the opener of the pair, rather than on real depth, the content staying light and aimed at young players.
Is Smurfs, The still worth playing in 2026?
A platformer from Infogrames, The Smurfs moves a little blue imp through colourful forests to foil Gargamel's plans, in a gentle adventure punctuated by jumps and dodges. The careful production, the mood faithful to the comic and the accessibility make it a good family title, even if the difficulty climbs at times and the gameplay stays classic. The visual charm carries the whole. For a retro platforming fan, a Smurfs fan or a parent seeking a tender title, the title keeps a colourful charm and a good natured pleasure.
