The Berenstain Bears' Camping Adventure

The Berenstain Bears' Camping Adventure is an action-adventure platformer developed by Realtime Associates and published by Sega in 1993.[1] In the game, the player controls one or more of the Berenstain Bear siblings Brother and Sister Bear as they complete nature-themed levels during a camping trip. Although the game never gained the popularity of other Sega titles of the time, critics appreciated a gender-neutral game for kids on the Sega systems of the time.[2]

The game was part of Sega's short-lived "Sega Club" library of games, geared towards kids of ages 5-9. The Berenstain Bears' Camping Adventure was rated GA by the V.R.C.

Plot

The Bear family, consisting of Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Brother Bear, and Sister Bear, are taking a camping vacation in the woods. Papa bear tells the children they can go play in the woods until sunset. Brother Bear and Sister Bear oblige, and they navigate many woods-themed levels, collecting items and defeating enemies. The game features three difficulty modes: Easy, Medium, and Hard. On Easy mode, the game is beaten after the five primary stages. On Normal and Hard difficulties, however, beating all five primary stages unlocks a sixth, more difficult stage: Haunted Forest.[3]

Release and reception

The game was released in June 1993 for the Sega Mega Drive and Sega Game Gear systems.[1] Since that time, no sequel has been announced. Critics disliked the game's simplistic platforming but supported a Sega game that represented a popular kids' franchise.[4]
