Gregory and the Hot Air Balloon is a children's video game developed by Capitol Multimedia, published by Broderbund and released in 1996 for the Macintosh and Windows and Windows 3.x systems.
In the town of Acorn Hollow, Gregory Chuckwood and his pet lizard Newt go for a ride in a hot air balloon, but accidentally drift away to a faraway place, due to Mr. Underwood's sneezing of inadvertently releasing the balloon with the rope snapping. With the balloon downed, Gregory needs to find the scattered balloon parts to get it going again so he and Newt can return home. Various puzzles, interactive objects and characters as well as minigames are found in the game.
