Snoopy's Silly Sports Spectacular NES is a 1990 sports game developed and published by Kemco. Snoopy and Spike compete in six comic events for one or two players. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
Kemco released the game in North America in April 1990. It is a loose port of Alternative World Games, a 1987 computer game for the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum. The six events are the Sack Race, Boot Throwing, Pogo, Overboard, Pile of Pizza and River Jump.
Each event has its own gag. In Overboard, Snoopy and Spike try to knock each other into the water. In Pile of Pizza, you balance a stack of pizzas on the way to the finish line. River Jump has you plant a pole in the water to vault across, and the game pushes a lagging player ahead so the race stays close.
The Japanese version starred Donald Duck instead of Snoopy. Kemco used its Disney rights in Japan, while Capcom USA held the Disney license in North America. The game also reuses two music tracks, including the menu theme, from the Famicom version of Spy vs. Spy II: The Island Caper.
This Snoopy NES game works well for a quick head-to-head session. Every event is short, and the catch-up rule in River Jump keeps a trailing player in the race. Snoopy and Spike face off in every event, so a second player can take control of the rival.
Collectors should know the cartridge's quirks. The graphics tend to flicker, and some events use unusual color palettes. These traits come from the game itself, not from the cartridge. The Japanese Famicom release, with Donald Duck in the lead, is a separate product.

Another family friendly game
A friend recommended this game to me (along with the Adventures of Lolo). We like most of the different games within this game, though we’ve only successfully ever completed the pole vaulting a couple of times, and we’re not sure how we did it. I feel like I am going to break the controller on the Throw the Boot game, but we haven’t yet…
The kids often request this game (Though right at the moment, my son just requested we play Super Mario Brothers I, since we haven’t played it in months…)

ok
I expected to be able to do more on this game. Im more used to super Nintendo games so playing this game was a little disappointing
