Taz: Wanted (2002)
Taz: Wanted is a 2002 platform video game made by Blitz Games.
Gleefully destructive and aimed directly at the Looney Tunes crowd, Taz: Wanted turns the Tasmanian Devil loose across 15 levels with a grudge against Yosemite Sam. The goal is simple: spin through environments tearing down wanted posters and everything else that gets in the way. The game leans into Taz's cartoon physics with broad slapstick humor, collecting mechanics, and a light platformer structure that keeps the action moving. It earned a BAFTA nomination for children's entertainment in 2002.
