Merry-go-round broke-down

Disney's live-action, animated mystery comedy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, is so surreal you'd be forgiven for thinking you were looking at an anything-goes video game. It's funny you should think that right after I'd deliberately planted the idea in your head... because there is one. Inspired by several pivotal silver screen moments, it's a hodgepodge of action mini-games developed by 'Silent' and published in 1988 in conjunction with the movie, courtesy of Buena Vista themselves. Naturally, the quirky puzzle-platformer stars all our favourite characters, with Judge Doom taking his rightful place as Roger's dastardly bete noir. Marginally different iterations based on the same design were released for the Amiga, Commodore 64, Apple II, Atari ST and DOS PC.
