I recall B.C.'s Quest for Tires I and II, some 2600 games with Charlie Brown and Garfield. Any others?

Create With Garfield (Apple II) and Snoopy Silly Sports Spectacular (NES) come to mind for me.

There are also Garfield games for the Genesis, Game Gear, NES (well, Famicom...), and Playstation 2. I seem to recall there being a Peanuts game for the Super Famicom as well (Snoopy Concert I believe it's called). Then there's also Dilbert's Desktop Games for PC....

Then of course, nothing at all related to Citizen Dog... :embarrassed:

There was also a Dennis The Menace game on the SNES, but I don't think that counts, since it was based on the movie and not the comic itself.

In South America, there are several games based on A Turma da Monica ("Monica's Gang"), notably for the Master System. An Odyssey2 version was announced by never released.

If you count 'em, many superheroes used to appear in comic strips (Batman, Spider-Man, etc). Dick Tracy should count as well.

And let's not forget about Mary Worth's Ultimate Knockout Deathmatch. :D

Normy's Beach Babe O Rama on the Genesis is based in a comic strip. I think it's called "Making It".

Comix Zone?

The many incarnations of Spider-Man, Batman and so on that are based on the comics and not the movies might count too.

Well, when I hear comic strips, I think of the comics in the newspapers, not comic books so I don't think super-heroes should count. Frankly, I can't think of many...we need to have Katzenjammer Kids, Snuffy Smith and Blondie games...

I did mention Fellix earlier. I'm not sure if he started in a comic strip, though. Popeye did, in Thimble Theatre. He actually goes as far back as the Atari 5200...I think that game was based on an arcade game.

Snoopy Tennis on Game Boy Color, and Game & Watch. For specifics, Snoopy & the Red Baron was the 2600 game.

The NES Snoopy game was a Donald Duck game on the Famicom.

Dick Tracy had NES, SMS, and Genesis games.
