Går något åt skogen är det bara att kalla på hjälp med armbandskommunikation, så kommer Race till undsättning. Efter en riktig moralpredikning släpps så barnen iväg igen för att klara sig på egen hand. Maximal töntighet!	If something goes wrong in the forest, just call for help with wristband communication, and Race will come to the rescue. After a proper moral sermon, the children are released again to manage on their own. Maximum idiocy!

From German magazine PC Joker, April 1994.
Original (German) 	Translated
Die Zeichentrickspezialisten von Hanna-Barbera haben nicht nur die Familie Feuerstein geschaffen, sondern auch diesen Cartoonhelden, dem Hollyware hier en einem recht belanglosen Actionadventure verholfen hat. 	The animation specialists at Hanna-Barbera have not only created the Flinstones, but also this cartoon hero, whom Hollyware has helped to create here in a rather insignificant action adventure.
Im Intro ist zu erfahren, daß die vierköpfige, "Team Quest" genannte Abenteurertruppe in den Dschungel Guatemalas beorden wurde, um fünf gestohlene Artefakte der Mayas su finden. Nach der Ankunft in der grünen Hölle teilt sich die Gang auf, und der Spieler steuert von jetzt an nur noch Jonny, dem sein Magier-Freund Hadji und der Hund Bandit artig folgen. 	In the intro we learn that the four-man, "Team Quest" group of adventurers was sent into the jungle of Guatemala to find five stolen Mayan artifacts. After arriving in the green hell, the gang splits up and from now on the player only controls Jonny, who is followed by his mage friend Hadji and dog Bandit.
Durch die träge dahinruckelnde und von oben gezeigte Landschaft geht's fortan per Tasten oder Stick, wichtige Hinweise erhält man durch Multiple-choice-Gespräche, und für das Untersuchen, Sammeln etc. sind die Funktionstasten zustandig. Am Handgelenk trägt Jonny einen Kommunikator, mit dent er das abgesplittete Heldenteam um Rat fragen kann, ansonsten ist er meist mit dem Lösen der kindisch leichten Rätsel beschäftigt — oder er prügelt sich in einem schwachen „Street Fighter"-Abklatsch so Lange mit einem der Dschungelbösewichte, bis sein Freund Hadji das Trauerspiel durch einen kurzen Zauberspruch beendet.	From now on you can use the keys or joystick to move through the lazy landscape, shown from above, important information is obtained through multiple-choice conversations, and the function keys are responsible for examining, collecting, etc. Jonny wears a communicator on his wrist, with which he can ask the split hero team for advice, otherwise he is mostly busy solving the childishly easy puzzles - or he fights himself for so long with one of the jungle villains in a weak "Street Fighter" imitation until his friend Hadji ends the tragedy with a short magic spell.
Das simpel gestrickte Gameplay bringt nicht einmal ganz junge Abenteurer ins Schwitzen, das besorgen cher die komplett englischen Texte. Dazu ist auch die technische Seite der Medaille von der dürftig animierten Grafik über die maßige Soundbegleitung bis zu der umständlichen Steuerung durchgehend enttäuschend. Anders formuliert: Guatemala ist keine Reise wert. (st) 	The simple gameplay doesn't make even the youngest adventurer work up a sweat, the completely English lyrics take care of that. In addition, the technical side of the coin from the poorly animated graphics to the massive sound accompaniment to the cumbersome controls is consistently disappointing. In other words: Guatemala is not worth the trip. (st)
