Pigs in Space analysis

Here's a short blog post concerning Jim Henson's interaction with Atari. I wish there was more info, but I found it interesting nonetheless.

There's at least one factual error. It's stated that neither Pigs in Space or Miss Piggy's Wedding's were produced, but of course the former was.

I love this.  Especially the hand written page.  Thanks for posting it!

I just got the game via a trade with Rowsdower...and your review is spot on.  I love the spinning Gonzo head on the Space Invaders mini-game.  But man, I find the Boomaray game to be very difficult.  Can't even make it past the first level.  Too frustrated to try more!  AAARGH!

 

 

Right? And this was a Muppets game marketed to kids. Makes you wonder where Atari's head was in 1983.  :wreck-it-ralph:

Thanks for posting this.  I emailed someone with the website and mentioned the error to them.  I got a reply thanking me so hopefully they'll fix it.

They removed the comment about neither VCS game being released, but didn't mention that Pigs in Space was released (I even sent them scans of the box, cart, and manual).  Ah well.  

 

That site doesn't have much archived material anyway.  I found this bit about some special recordings the 'real' Pigs in Space made for an early NASA space shuttle mission: http://www.ebay.com/itm/132018022818

They have 2 of the scripts they wrote, but not the actual audio recordings.
