Hare Raising Havoc is a side-scrolling adventure game created by BlueSky Software for the Amiga and MS-DOS platforms, released in 1991 under the Disney Software label. This title serves as a spin-off derived from the 1988 Disney/Amblin motion picture Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Plot
The narrative is based on the animated sequences from Who Framed Roger Rabbit along with associated shorts. In the game, Roger Rabbit is responsible for watching over Baby Herman, who manages to flee to a bottling facility. The player guides Roger through the residence and ultimately to the factory’s rooftop before Mommy returns. The finale features Roger confronting Mommy and his director on the cartoon production set, with brief cameo appearances by Jessica Rabbit.
Gameplay
Players assume control of Roger, who must interact with various items within each room to solve intricate, Rube Goldberg-inspired puzzles that allow advancement. A strict one-hour time constraint adds challenge, necessitating near-flawless puzzle execution. There are concealed power-ups that can reverse time; however, using these can consume precious minutes, requiring thoughtful deployment.
The game's performance is influenced by processor speed; on faster machines, sound and action synchronization issues may render it difficult to play. To mitigate this problem, an option is provided to slow down the game’s running speed for smoother gameplay.
