Play Beethovens 2nd Online

I remember picking up Beethoven's 2nd for the Super Nintendo back in 1993. It was published by Hi Tech Expressions, a company that put out a number of licensed titles during that era. This was a time when movie tie-in games were common on the SNES, and this one was based on the family comedy about the St. Bernard dog. It fit right in with the platform's library of cartoonish adventures aimed at a younger audience.

In the game, you control the young boy, Ted, or sometimes the dog Beethoven himself, navigating through side-scrolling levels. Your main goal is to rescue the puppies that have been scattered around various locations, from the suburban house to the city streets. The gameplay involves a lot of running and jumping across platforms, avoiding hazards like garden tools and other animals. You also collect bones, which serve as both a health item and a form of currency to buy helpful items from a shop. The levels are fairly short, but some of the platforming can be tricky, requiring precise jumps. It feels like a straightforward, lighthearted adventure that doesn't overcomplicate things.
