What's that game? Classic Edition

No, this was way indier- the game was made almost entirely by one dude with help from his kid. It was ugly and a boatload of fun. And it was made specifically for Win 3.1.

Hrm, that's a tough one. Can you give a rough date, even by decade?

No idea when it was released, but I played it somewhere in the 1990-1992 range.

And by low res, I mean LOWER than 320 x 200 ;)

I'll take it that it wasn't Digger. Was there a single-player mode at all or was it two-player-only?

As far as I can remember, it was two-player only.

This thread has brought back happy memories of (http://www.mobygames.com/game/zx-spectrum/mr-wimpy-the-hamburger-game) Mr. Wimpy!

I seem to remember Pam Pickle being particularly vicious.

"Ocean first developed the game and then approached Wimpy, expecting to have to pay a royalty for using their company logo and name. Wimpy were so pleased with the game that they allowed their name to be used for free." Like that would happen these days...
