INTRODUCTION & GAME STATUS


It's time for another Ocean-themed October, and because the previous entry went so badly awry in terms of bringing balance to the blog, I decided to bring in another game from the early 80's with Mr. Wimpy - a game largely based on Data East's classic BurgerTime, acting as a promotional device for the Wimpy fast-food restaurant chain. Whether this might actually bring more balance or not, remains to be seen.
