Developed by Smart Bomb Interactive and released in 2006 for PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and PC, Snoopy vs. The Red Baron is a flight combat game drawing on the Peanuts universe created by Charles M. Schulz. The game centers on Snoopy in his recurring role as a World War I flying ace, a persona well established in the original comic strip. Players engage in aerial combat against a roster of historical and fictional adversaries, including Manfred von Richthofen — the legendary Red Baron — his squadron the Flying Circus (Jagdgeschwader 1), and forces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The setting and cast are rooted firmly in the wartime fantasy Schulz popularized, translating that lighthearted yet action-oriented premise into a dedicated combat flight experience aimed at fans of the Peanuts franchise as well as players seeking an accessible aerial combat title.
