Story[edit | edit source]
This is from the back of the cassette's (or disk's, for the case of the Commodore Amiga version) inlay card, the front of which is shown in the image to the right (the family standing on a platform in space):
Hanna-Barbera's famous futuristic family straight
from their "Silver Screen" debut in Cinemas around
the World and now to your computer screen in this latest
Hi-Tec game.
George is trying to get the afternoon off work so
that he can take the family to Las Venus for the
weekend. Mr. Spacely however has other plans.
"George! If you leave your office before 1400 hours
you're FIRED!!!"
"That Spacely has gone too far, 3 hours a day, 3 days a week, week
in week out, for nothing. I'm leaving anyway!"
Can you help George finally escape from the dreaded Mr. Spacely and get
away for his well earned break?

Although this storyline implies that the player takes control of George Jetson himself, each level is played as a different member of the Jetsons family.
