Yogi's Great Escape

Yogi's Great Escape generally received praise for its graphics. Crash called the game fun and addictive, but noted that the monochrome colour scheme of the ZX Spectrum version made it difficult to see things such as snakes. Jim Douglas of Sinclair User praised the game's collision detection but stated that the gameplay was somewhat hampered by the fact that the player is sent back to the beginning of the game once all lives are lost. Zzap!64 found this aspect to be repetitive, but otherwise described the game as "very playable" for a budget release. Beverly Gardner of YC described the gameplay as fun and addictive, but also difficult. Gardner considered the game to be better than most other budget games. Douglas also stated that some aspects of the gameplay were tricky and difficult. Amstrad Computer User praised the story and sound, while Douglas stated that the game had minimal sound consisting of "only some wonky bleeps and boops." Computer and Video Games, in its review of the ZX Spectrum version, described the gameplay as addictive and mentally stimulating. The magazine also praised the soundtrack and smooth scrolling of the Amiga version, and called it "an absolute steal at the price" of £6.99. Rich Pelley of Your Sinclair described the gameplay as "very simple, pretty uninspiring and extremely repetitive," further writing that the game "looks very dated and boring, even for £2.99."
