There's an old game i used to play when I was younger. I can't remember the name of it but I'm determined to find out. I believe the game was on the Commodore 64... maybe... i duno. I never owned the system myself, my best friend had it. All I remember is this game that made me laugh so hard. some... worm game.

The game was on a cassette tape type of media and it was an educational/learning game involving a worm that rode around a apple with wheels. I remember the worm running into a pig (i think a pig?) that plays a tuba. You would hit the button on the controller and the tuba would play.... Crap that's all I can even remember about the game.. is that worm... but it cracked me up so much.

Anybody have any idea what that game is? :confused:

Awesome!

Awesome! hey you know I think this might be it. I looked at the screenshots and sure enough, there's the worm and the apple-car! I've gotta look into this game now. However, this looks like a newer version of the game. this version was released in 1999 and the one I played was way older than that 1985-ish, but hey I'm on the right track now! Thanks for the input. ;) what is so weird, is the game is entitled richards scarry busy town and my friends name who had this game was richard. lol
 
Interesting - But the graphics look far superior to what we were seeing when cassette-drives were abundant.

Ahhh, my old TRS-80! :rolleyes:
