Rocko's Modern Life: Spunky's Dangerous Day
Rocko's Modern Life: Spunky's Dangerous Day is a puzzle-platform game released by Viacom New Media for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Based on the Nickelodeon series Rocko's Modern Life (1993–1996), it is the first project of Viacom New Media, the interactive entertainment software division of Viacom International, who owned Nickelodeon. In each of the game's sections, the player acts as the titular character guiding his dog Spunky to a golden fire hydrant. To do this, he alters the level environment and fights enemies.
Produced by Dave Marsh, Rocko's Modern Life: Spunky's Dangerous Day was developed in under 12 months during the show's creation, and the only source material to reference were rough sketches sent by artists working on the TV series. Viacom New Media published the game in North America in April 1994 to generally favorable reviews from professional critics, although some reviewers suggested the difficulty would be too much for the game's young target demographic and was artificially increased by the difficult and unresponsive controls. The presentation was well-received for how it reflected the series.
Limited Run Games re-released the game on modern platforms in a collection called the Nickelodeon Splat Pack alongside Aaahh!!! Real Monsters (1995) and GUTS (1994) on January 30, 2026.
