Telltale Games

Did this giant-nosed young lady kill video games?


The red head above is, of course, Rhonda and the guy with the flat top and green tentacle bursting out of his chest is her famous uncle Harry. He's famous for stepping on alligators' heads and finding lost engagement rings deep in the jungle. I'm not sure who that silver french horn on the level below them is supposed to be.

They're from this game Pitfall 2: Balloons and Frogs!! And when you finally found Rhonda (and her quivering, upright walking, cowardly puma or whatever) waiting all sassy-like with her hands on her hips, the game would end. You win.

I remember being both completely flibber AND flabbergasted. Video games aren't supposed to END! They keep getting harder and faster and maybe the background color changes a little bit and they only END when mom comes downstairs and finally has to just unplug the joystick and let you sleep with it until the callouses get so bad that you need antibiotics for the infection but they taste so gross that the only way she'll get you to take them is to let you play more video games!!

What the crap was I talkin' about? Oh yeah. I hate the french horn.
