I wonder if a game today could get away with so blatantly encouraging the player to just collect junk food for points. Everything in the game was pizza, soda, candy bars....if I remember that title for anything, it's always making me hungry. |

Ahh...it was a simpler time...a happy time...when a man could be happy shooting slugs with his little ray gun, pogo jumping off of red bouncy balls, or riding said balls across the entire level. ... *Starts digging through old diskettes* |
