A Boy and His Blob: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

Released in 1989 for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], ''A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia'' (yep, that really is the game's subtitle), features the adventures of our eponymous hero (the Boy) and his friend Blob (full name Blobert) as they race to Blob's home world to defeat the evil emperor.

The main draw of this platforming game (which was created by David Crane of ''[[Pitfall]]'' fame) is that Blob has the uncanny ability to change into different shapes/objects depending on what type of jellybean the boy feeds him. From licorice to ketchup, each flavor turns Blob into a different shape, allowing the boy to overcome obstacles and complete each level.

Numerous remakes were rumored since its release, but for twenty years the series consisted of only the original and a 1990 sequel for the [[Game Boy]], ''The Rescue of Princess Blobette''.
