BoBo

Bobo is a cartoon-style arcade game starring Bobo, an inmate serving a seventeen-year sentence. Across a series of prison-themed events, he must complete chores, help fellow inmates escape, avoid electrified wires, and quiet his snoring cell mates.

Prison Challenges

• Serve soup and keep the prisoners' plates full by moving around the tables and refilling supplies.
• Peel potatoes completely before tossing them away.
• Move a trampoline to help inmates clear the prison wall without crashing.
• Jump between electrified wires while collecting occasional green bonus objects.
• Sing lullabies to sleeping cell mates, then reach bed without waking them.

The events can be played in sequence or individually. Up to six players can take turns, using a joystick or keyboard. Actions generally involve moving controls quickly from side to side, with some events also requiring objects to be picked up and tossed.

Developed and published by Infogrames Europe SA, Bobo was released in 1987 for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Atari ST/STE, Commodore C64/128/MAX, DOS, and ZX Spectrum.
