Play Rockos Modern Life Online

Rocko’s Modern Life on SNES is one of those weirdly charming licensed games that actually gets the show’s vibe right. You play as Rocko, basically babysitting Spunky (his dog) through three bizarre levels—like a beach made of Rock-O-Whey (whatever that is) and a nightmare laundry dimension. The whole thing feels like a fever dream, but in a good way.

Gameplay’s simple but kinda frantic: you’re constantly tossing Spunky to higher platforms or rearranging junk to cushion his falls while weird enemies try to mess with him. Rocko can’t take damage, but Spunky’s got a health bar, so the pressure’s all about keeping that dopey dog alive. No time limits, though, so you can panic at your own pace.

What really sells it are the comic-style cutscenes and cameos from the show—Hefer shows up, the Bigheads are lurking, and yeah, Earl the Experimental Dog makes things even stranger. It’s janky in that classic SNES way, but if you grew up on the cartoon, it’s a weird little time capsule.
