43 Pickaxe Pete +


Release Date: 1982
COLLECTING

Pick Axe Pete was again pushing Atari's Buttons, This was the Philips version of Donkey Kong and some would say the best game on the Videopac console. No lawsuit was pursued although Atari's feathers were ruffled. A Plus version was released, but not a JOPAC, which is surprising for such a popular title. I have also included another proto/demo I stumbled upon, there is no variation between this and the official release.


PLAYING

Unlike Donkey Kong, there is no damsel to rescue, more particularly a maze to clime, you do still have a pickaxe, which disappears after a while, your up against time dodging falling boulders waiting for your time to collect the key that will lead you to freedom.
