Bounty Bob Strikes Back, Level 1 - Bob's Morning Calisthenics!
Interesting! Bounty Bob is venturing into Ollie's Follies turf. Even the sound effects here smack of the large looming shadow of Frank Cohen. Particularly, when you dispense with one of those pesky mutant pixies that instantly turn you into radioactive goo. For some reason, I really really want to get that one on the left when you start the level. Unfortunately, it means you can't get the one after you pass through the portal. Incidentally, the portals now aren't all stacked outhouse-style on the same vertical plane, as in Bounty Bob. Again, that's pushing an Atari 8-bit to its absolute limits of its computing and artistic power. And of course, it's the perfect opportunity to rethink the way you jump in these levels. Also, there's the new timer that ticks off time in units of 10 instead of 100, if memory serves. Let's see how well it serves. I forget where it is, but time to replay 2049er!
