Play Smurfs, The (E) Online

Smurfs, The (E) is a side-scrolling platformer for the NES where you play as a Smurf—probably Papa, though honestly, it's hard to tell with the tiny sprites. The first level throws you right into it: hopping over mushrooms, dodging Gargamel's weird floating traps, and rescuing other Smurfs trapped in bubbles or cages.

The controls are stiff, like most NES platformers, and the hit detection can be frustrating when you miss a jump by a pixel. But the music is oddly catchy, and there's something charming about the bright, simple visuals—even if everything looks a little blocky.

It's not a deep game, but if you grew up with the Smurfs, it might scratch that nostalgia itch. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking.
