Sylvester and Tweety in Cagey Capers is a video game featuring the Looney Tunes characters Sylvester and Tweety. It was released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis console in 1993. It was the first video game to feature Sylvester and Tweety.
Gameplay[]
Players play as Sylvester and he must try and catch Tweety in each level. One must chase Tweety to the end of the level until Sylvester finally catches him. There are however characters from the Looney Tunes universe who will try to confront Sylvester. Sylvester can pick up things such as boxing gloves and hammers to fight Spike, Sam Cat, and Robo-Dogs. They can't get defeated forever, just can be temporarily defeated and later regenerated. Sylvester also can use bones to distract Spike, and fish to distract Sam. However, he can't hurt Granny. He can also use things such as umbrellas and boxes to try and reach Tweety. He also has "Tweety scope" which locates where Tweety is. Sylvester Junior will appear to guide his father through a level.
Sylvester can also hide from his enemies behind lamps or in barrels. How far the player can get in the game depends on the difficulty setting. If you only put the difficulty at 0% you can only do one level. The game needs to be set at 80% difficulty or higher to play all levels. One can also gain points by knocking things off the shelves or from bags of catnip.
Levels[]
Domestic Devils- The first level is in Granny's house, which means that Granny is guarding Tweety. The player chases Tweety from the living room all the way to the attic.
Domestic Devils 2- The backyard is full of different challenges. From the picket fence to the clothesline and electrical wires, Sylvester must calm Spike in order to pursue Tweety up into the heights of his bird house.
Mayhem Express- From the luggage car to the train roof, Sylvester must pursue Tweety out of the train. But beware of freight doors which suck Sylvester back to the beginning of the level. Hippety Hopper actually helps Sylvester out of the level, as he kicks Sylvester very high, so he can reach Tweety.
Back Alley Blues- A fence and an alleyway hide a huge apartment building which Tweety is trying to get to. Sylvester has to use flag polls and window ledges to trap Tweety and also avoid the alley cats, which pelt Sylvester with boots and books. Look out for Sam Cat, he will try and chase Tweety also. Rocky and Mugsy, Spike and Chester and Hippety Hopper can be seen as silhouettes in the apartment windows.
Hyde and Shriek- Sylvester has followed Tweety into Dr. Jekyll's lab, and Tweety has swallowed some of the formula which turns him into a giant Tweety. The only thing to use against the monster is a bottle of Antidote potion. Avoid the Tweety monster, but resume the chase when Tweety shrinks down to his original size. There are also Robo-Dogs, who will try to hurt Sylvester, who oddly, can regenerate after they got broken by Sylvester, as robots can't actually regenerate themselves.
Hyde and Shriek 2- Sylvester has swallowed another of Jekyll's potions which shrinks him down. The smallest of beaks now becomes the biggest of obstacles in this oversized version of the lab. Watch out for Bunsen burners and electric sparks. Use the transporter to change locations quickly.
Oceans of Trouble- This is the last level which takes place on a boat. Sylvester must fight Sam and avoid Granny again for the last time to reach Tweety. Jump from the dock to a maze of portholes. Head up to the deck to eventually capture Tweety.

Cancelled Versions[]
A Sega Game Gear and Master System version was planned. It was shown off at Summer CES 1993, but no footage of the game nor any prototype builds have resurfaced. The game seems drastically different from the released Genesis version, and the only remains of the game that have been rediscovered are in a magazine scan.
