Tutti Frutti is an action game written by Alan M. Newman[1] for Atari 8-bit computers and published in 1982 by Adventure International.[2] It was re-released in Germany by QuelleSoft in 1984.[3] The game is programmed in Atari BASIC.[1]

Gameplay

[edit]

The object of Tutti Frutti is to eat all the fruits within the time limit. The game sets the stage inside a jungle clearing surrounded by trees, where the player is constantly pursued by deadly bugs as he races against the clock to clear a level. Each stage contains different fruits (bananas, grapes, oranges and plums), trees (which merely hinder the player's movement) and special objects (like ice creams worth a lot of points, but eating it angers the bugs). The player starts with 3 lives, when all are lost the game ends.

Reception

[edit]

The Addison-Wesley Book of Atari Software 1984 gave it an overall rating of "D" and concluded: "In short, the game isn't exciting, is somewhat repetitious, yet offers who like this style of game a challenge on its upper levels."[4]
