From some point on we had all those games with "naive" cover art and names like "UFI and his dangerous mission" in the local Sears-catalogue equivalent, all of them rebranded and translated (or reinvented; not like you can’t call a wolf a fox in your pirate version of Oink!). "Snail and Squirrel" was another one. It was quite clear they were shovelware and ROM hacks. But boy did they take up valuable catalogue space that could’ve been used for yummy yummy Activision screenshots. Though I have to hand it to Bobby… it is quite versatile and ambitious underneath the jank

I thought I’d hate it for all those reasons but it’s quite charming. The next game though…

Great breakdown of gameplay, design, and tech -- thanks!

[@ascfde]

Dont let Mick Jagger and Keith Richards bother Bobby

[@8bitrocketstudios]

Those instructions though...

[@steveafulton]

I think they make more sense than the ones for Tax Avoiders !

I only heard about this game a few years ago. I am glad he made it home.
