About Cj Elephant Fugitive
Codemasters published a number of budget-minded Game Gear games in the mid-1990s, and this one stars a small elephant called CJ, who has been locked up in a zoo and must break out. It is a Game Gear exclusive that remakes CJ's Elephant Antics, a 1991 budget game for home computers, so its design comes straight from the British microcomputer tradition: compact levels, hidden passages, and enemies dropping into your path as you move.
CJ attacks by firing peanuts from his trunk and can also launch bouncing bombs. Holding the jump button while falling opens an umbrella, letting him float down slowly, which is useful for avoiding hazards on the way down and for exploring vertical areas. Reviews at the time were lukewarm, with Mean Machines Sega calling it a dull platform romp and later retrospectives describing it as very basic. Still, it is a bright, cheerful handheld platformer with a likable lead, and finding the hidden routes gives it more depth than a quick look suggests.
Tips for CJ Elephant Fugitive
Open the umbrella on long drops to slow your fall and line up a safe landing.
Use bouncing bombs on enemies below you or around corners, where straight peanut shots can't reach.
Check walls and odd-looking spots for hidden passages, which often lead to the way forward.
