This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Gargoyles is an action game for the Sega Mega Drive made in 1995 by Buena Vista Interactive made to tie in with the Gargoyles television series created by Buena Vista for Disney (though the Disney name is nowhere to be found on the actual game).

The game uses the MC68000's tas (test and set) opcode to do condition-related things (exactly what is unknown; TODO). tas runs in a different way from other CPUs, and for some unknown reason the Genesis is wired differently (what exactly si going on is unknown; TODO). The designers of the Genesis 3 overlooked this, and for some unknown reason, the game will not run on this model, making it the only game not to run on the Genesis 3 due to something other than additional hardware not being supported.

Gameplay

In the game, you control Goliath, leader of the Manhattan Clan of Gargoyles, who can run, charge ( while running), climb walls ( to jump on; you automatically grab on), punch () and throw () objects, jump (), and hover in midair for two seconds ( twice). You can charge in midair to break through the floor or charge through walls which can be broken.
