Toobin' (NES)

Toobin'

Platform: NES Year: 1989 Developer: Tengen Buy: Amazon

Toobin' is an Atari Games video game originally released as an arcade game in 1988 and is based on the recreational sport tubing. It was later ported to systems such as NES, Amiga, Commodore 64, MSX, and Game Boy Color. In the game, the player assumes control of the main characters Bif or Jet, guiding them through many winding rivers on an innertube.

The NES version is notable for being the first work by game programmers David O'Riva and Franz Lanzinger, who would later go on to form Bitmasters, with graphic artists by Greg Williams and O'Riva and all the audio by Brad Fuller, Don Diekneite and John Paul with additional music from Susan Lanzinger.
