Fuck Bobby.

Is the jump noise the Woody Woodpecker laugh tune, or is that just me?


BaconAficionado - 2009-08-18

Is that music "Nearer my God to thee", or is that just me?


TimbolinoBilchard - 2009-08-18

It's not nearer my God to Thee, but it is a classic church hymn.


BaconAficionado - 2009-08-18

Ooo, is it "You've got a friend in Jesus"?


TimbolinoBilchard - 2009-08-18

That's the one!


Old_Zircon - 2009-08-18

Is it? I know it as a civil war era folk song, but I can't remember the title.

Anyhow, the first drug experience I ever had in my life was dropping acid and playing this game.


Ponasty - 2009-08-18

"What a friend we have in Jesus"


Old_Zircon - 2009-08-18

Actually, I misremembered, I was thinking of a completely obscure rural rockabilly song that uses the melody from "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" and has lyrics about a woman named Birdy leaving the singer.


BaconAficionado - 2009-08-18

Thanks Ponasty, I knew that wasn't completely right. Its the song the old black lady in "The Stand" plays right after she talks about god being a "big ol' railroad dick".


kiint - 2009-08-18

"Anyhow, the first drug experience I ever had in my life was dropping acid and playing this game."

thats quite a way to start


Old_Zircon - 2009-08-18

It was very satisfactory, as were the 7 hours before I played this.

It's like Super Mario Brothers, but without the fun.


Camonk - 2009-08-18

So, it's like Super Mario Brothers, then.


Keefu - 2009-08-18

No, Super Mario Bros. was pretty fun. I know you're into sticking it to classics and such, but really.


Camonk - 2009-08-18

Someone paid like for this at one time.


boner - 2009-08-18

Quite exciting, this computer magic.

I wish more people would show you how Atari games really looked on the hardware back then, extremely washed out and blurry, often on a black & white set.


Stupid Lisa Garbage Face - 2009-08-18

Yes, the blurriness of it going in through the antenna on your TV set really helped your imagination. Also I had ET and pacman and combat. I would have loved to have had this game back then.


Old_Zircon - 2009-08-18

Everyone I knew loved Combat back then.

I still own two ET carts.


BHWW - 2009-08-18

Blocky things are doing things. WHAT FUN.


twinkieafternoon - 2009-08-18

Completed that platform jump? Well let's see what you think of THIS PLATFORM JUMP, Mr. Game Master!


ZugZug - 2009-08-18

I'm just glad Bobby made it home.


Killer Joe - 2009-08-19

Wait, was that the whole game?


pastorofmuppets - 2009-08-19

This isn't any worse than Pitfall.

The stuff moving in the sky and the mountains and the colorful backgrounds are all a nice touch and not straightforward to do on the 2600. Someone put some love into this.

I guess what I am saying is that there is more creativity in this game than in the entire Hitman series.


pastorofmuppets - 2009-08-19

Also the main character can jump, you will note that in Hitman you cannot, despite it being a common ability in human beings.


Old_Zircon - 2009-08-19

The gameplay is TERRIBLE, though. It's like Pitfall with latency.


pastorofmuppets - 2009-08-19

It ends though. From what I remember Pitfall just keeps going on until you grow up and realize you threw your life away.


klingerbgoode - 2010-01-07

One thing can be said, and that is Bobby is certainly going home.
