The Smurfs
DOSPlatformer
The Smurfs is a side-scrolling platform game developed by Bit Managers and published by Infogrames for DOS in 1994. It adapts Peyo’s comic characters into a series of compact action stages in which a Smurf travels through forests, caves, and other hazardous locations. The core play style combines running, jumping, climbing, and careful avoidance of enemies and traps rather than complex combat. The game was also released on several home and handheld systems, with version differences in presentation and level design. Its reception was generally mixed: the licensed setting was recognizable and appealing, while the uneven difficulty, collision behavior, and relatively simple mechanics limited its broader reputation.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
