Is Boulder Dash the first collect-a-thon?

Clean Sweep was ten years earlier.

In pong you collect points

>>12256253
what does collect-a-thon even mean, what separates it from any other game focused around collecting things
>>
>>12256521
collect-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.

your mother collects sexual transmitted diseases

>>12256521
a game where player collects things in order to fulfill a goal or to get points and is the entire purpose of the game's existence

There 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

This 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.

it was exactly the same. most of the code and 100% of the graphics are identical but the colours are horrendous on the atari version. you are a retard.
