Is Boulder Dash the first collect-a-thon?
>>12256253Clean Sweep was ten years earlier.
>>12256253In pong you collect points
>>12256253what does collect-a-thon even mean, what separates it from any other game focused around collecting things
>>12256521collect-a-thons are shitty platformers that don't have enough content to pull an audience, so they just fill it with things to make numbers go up and hit dopamine receptors.

>in the game he's an ant>on the loading screen hes a mandid the programmer and the graphic artist not speak to each other on this one?
>>12257102There is one release of the first game which depicts him as an ant on the cover, but on all the cover arts of the first and later games they made him look like a human. Rockford will always be an ant in my headcanon.
one of the few occasions where the Atari 8-bit version was superior to the Commodre 64 version. its so polished.and yeah, who is this dude? not the Ant in the game
>>12257492This one too.The man seems to have become the standard depiction with the sequels, but AFAIK the original game didn't have him even on loading or start screens. The starting screen in every version just showed the logo I'm pretty sure.
But then in the GBA game he was a furry.
