Cool article. I didn't like this game, but I was always impressed by the smooth scrolling when the screen bounced in response to Bluto jumping around. It gave the game a "big-budget" or arcade-quality feel, which frequently distinguished arcade games from home adaptations. This despite my having an Atari 800, whose hardware provided silky-smooth fine scrolling and sprites.

The glow of multicolor game characters on a CRT just brings back the excitement of arcades. I wonder if anything has that kind of entertainment value for kids today.
