Kabobber Longplay (Atari 2600 Game)
0- Kabobber Longplay (Atari 2600 Game) -
Kabobber, a prototype never released for the Atari 2600, caught my attention when I acquired Activision Anthology for the PS2, back in the distant 2002. The game features players controlling a squad of Buvskies, maneuvering through a grid, aiming to reach Princess Buvsky before she exits the stage.
The creatures (you can control up to 9 of them at the same time), hop on enemies to add baby creatures to a waiting queue, growing them by hopping on specific foes. Losing creatures is possible if enemies hop on them.
While boasting precise controls, you can honestly tell the game's unfinished. Its gameplay dynamics and incentives aren't sufficient for long-term engagement. It appears that the unusual, yet fun gameplay is just for the sake of it and again, given it's a prototype, it probably is.
Nice concept, anyway!
