102 Dalmatians: Puppies to the Rescue is an exciting video game based on the live-action Disney movie 102 Dalmatians. It was first released in 2000 for consoles like the PlayStation, Dreamcast, and Game Boy Color, as well as Microsoft Windows computers. In this game, you get to play as two brave Dalmatian puppies on a mission to save their family!

Game Story and How to Play

This game follows the story of the movie very closely. You can choose to play as one of two adorable Dalmatian puppies: Oddball or Domino. Your adventure begins as you explore the town, looking for hidden treasures.

Soon, you discover that a toy you found was made in one of Cruella de Vil's factories. Cruella is super upset because her toys are being buried instead of played with. She's losing money, so she comes up with an evil plan! Cruella decides to reprogram her toys to capture all the Dalmatian puppies they see.

That's where Oddball and Domino come in! They embark on their biggest adventure ever to rescue their brothers and sisters. As you play, your main goals are to:

  • Save all the captured puppies.
  • Collect 100 bones in each level.
  • Stop Cruella's sneaky helpers, like Jasper and Horace.

You can keep your puppy healthy by picking up food items you find. You'll face Cruella herself a few times throughout the game. The final showdown happens at her Toy Factory. The game takes you through many fun and challenging places, from dark sewers to a lively circus! Along the way, you'll meet other characters who will help you on your quest.
