Ah, Bob Winner (1986, DOS), the game that asks: what if Indiana Jones had a cousin who got lost in a side-scroller? You play as the titular Bob, an adventurer who walks like he’s late for a dinner date and punches wildlife like it owes him money. There’s a story somewhere—something about treasure and evil—but mostly you’ll be trying to figure out how to jump without pulling a muscle. Controls are stiffer than Bob’s fashion sense, and enemies include birds with anger issues and snakes that appear to be unionized. It’s weird, janky, and yet strangely charming—kind of like your dad’s old vacation slides, but with more punches.
