Rocky And Bullwinkle - Atari 2600| Game Manual: | N/A | | Game Music: | N/A |
According to the catalog entry: "Rocky and Bullwinkle must stop the evil Boris and Natasha from robbing a train full of priceless valuables. While Boris uses "Upsidasium" to float the valuables up to Natasha's waiting helicopter, Rocky must fly around and intercept them. When Rocky catches the valuables, he gives them to Bullwinkle for safe keeping." Now I know the show didn't exactly make sense most of the time, but what heck were the guys over at Mattel smoking when they came up with this plot?
Twisted plot aside, Rocky & Bullwinkle is an interesting action game in which you must fly Rocky around the screen grabbing all the valuables before they float up to Natasha. R&B sort of plays like Kaboom in reverse, and resembles Dumbo's Flying Circus in some respects. Treasures can be snagged by flying Rocky over them and pressing the button, but since Rocky has puny little rodent muscles he can only hold two valuables at once. While you can give any treasure to Bullwinkle for points, there is a special combination that is displayed on the screen, these are the two that actually count. If you give these two treasures to Bullwinkle the screen will flash a bit and the timer will reset to 75, giving you more time to look for the next combination. However there's another timer which constantly counts down no matter what you do. When this timer runs out, the game ends. This timer can be extended by selecting different game variations. |
