Scooby Adventure - Episode One

Remember Shaggy, Scooby, and the rest of the gang from your favorite Saturday morning cartoon? Well, they're back - in a River Rapids Rampage Adventure that you control. This fun, free game is available at net-games.biz.

In typical Scooby Doo style, the game begins with Shaggy and Scooby talking to a creepy looking Mr. Culpepper. He's got a hot sauce factory that makes the Five Skull Fire Sauce, produced with a special pepper that grows only in the Haunted Temple of Lost Souls. Fortunately, he's collected enough peppers for his own personal supply. So what's the problem? Shaggy's chili recipe, "like, needs that ingredient!" And nobody who goes into the haunted temple could ever make it out alive.

Of course, Shaggy and Scooby go anyway. They borrow a map from Mr. Culpepper and take off to collect some supplies near the river, which has been overtaken with dangerous jungle animals.

Your job in this little mission? You've got to collect handy items on your way to the river in order to fend off monkeys, snakes, lions, and crocs. If one of these animals manages to scare Shaggy and Scooby before you've figured out how to chase it away, then your Scare- meter starts to fill up. When the Scare-meter is completely full, the game ends.

Once you do make it to the river, you'll take the canoe to the next part of the game. Here, you have to navigate river rapids and avoid crocodiles, piranhas, and a "Mayan Mayhem" that pops out from behind the bushes. Try to canoe through the river, and avoid maxing out your Scare-meter. If you make it to the end, you've won the game.

There's more to come in Episode Two of Scooby Adventure. Maybe in the next episode, Scooby and Shaggy will finally get their hands on those crazy hot peppers in the Temple of Lost Souls. For now, I'm just happy that they made it through the Rampaging River Rapids alive!
