Alfredo's Perilous Pitfall Demo (Commodore 64)

ALFREDO'S PERILOUS PITFALL

COMMODORE 64 VERSION 

BY RICHARD J. DEROCHER

A BINARY LEGENDS PRODUCTION

-------------------------------------------------------------   

This is NOT a game, but rather a small animated "demo".

For those of you not familiar with Alfredo - he is a stick figure that was the star of little animation "demos" on the  Softdisk Publishing line of disk magazines back in the 1980's.  

Alfredo originally debuted in Alfredo's Lost Cause by Matthew Heeschen. This first Alfredo adventure was published in 1985 on Softdisk for the Apple II. Mike Nuzzo would go on to create several more Alfredo adventures / animations that would also be published on the Softdisk magazine.  

Some of the Alfredo adventures were ported to the Commodore 64 for the Loadstar magazine as well as for MS-DOS machines for the Big Blue Disk magazine.  

Back in the year 2000, I programmed two original Alfredo  animations for the Commodore 64 - The Return of Alfredo and Alfredo's Perilous Pitfall. They were both published on Loadstar which was still active at the time.

When I coded Alfredo's Perilous Pitfall, I tried to  imitate the style of the original Alfredo adventures, so it has VERY basic 8-bit vector style graphics.

This is a slightly updated version of the original that appeared on Loadstar.

Enjoy this little animation!
