Miss Piggy's Wedding Discovered
In our never-ending quest to rescue historic relics of Atari's
past for archiving purposes comes yet another discovery! Resident
Atari Gaming Headquarters co-editor and curator John Hardie is the
proud possessor of Miss Piggy's Wedding, a title that
was hitherto believed not to exist.
The playfield consists of Miss Piggy, Kermit The Frog, a
key, a yellow vehicle at the bottom of the screen (a Taxi?) and
dots reminiscent of Adventure which move vertically along the
screen. Although the gist of the game isn't yet clear to us,
we DO know that 1) you can take control of either Kermit or
Miss Piggy; 2) two players can participate simulatenously;
3) touching the key closes the two exits at the bottom of the
screen and 4) running into the opposition (Kermit or Miss Piggy)
after touching the key "eliminates" that player (kill would be
too strong a word for a Muppets game, we think.)
Once we spend some more time playing the game, we'll have
a hands-on review in the very near future. Historians and
collectors now have yet another title that they can remove from
the "believed not to exist" list to the "exists as an unreleased
prototype" list.
