Developed and published by Taito, the game is based on the popular animated television series "The Jetsons," which portrays the life of a futuristic family. In the game, players control George Jetson, the family patriarch, who embarks on a mission to stop his employer's competitor, Mr. Cogswell, from destroying the environment with his factory's pollution. The gameplay involves navigating through various levels inspired by the cartoon's aesthetic, where George must dodge and overcome obstacles, collect items, and use gadgets that reflect the show’s futuristic theme.

The game is notable for its integration of typical platform mechanics with the distinctive Jetsons' universe, featuring characters and settings fans of the show would recognize. It employs a multi-directional scrolling platform layout, a relatively innovative feature at the time, allowing a more dynamic exploration of the animated-style levels. Each level presents environmental puzzles and enemies, including robots and other machinery gone awry, requiring the player to tactically use George's jetpack and other gizmos to advance. "The Jetsons: Cogswell's Caper!" stands out due to its faithful adaptation of the television show's charm and visual style, combined with engaging and challenging gameplay, making it a rewarding experience for both fans of the series and platformer enthusiasts.
