Strip by: Lubaf

Rhindle: So what if I'm lost. Big deal. I can handle it.
Rhindle: Dragons are adventurous. Dragons are independent. Dragons are strong...
Rhindle: {Crying out} I WANT MY KNUBBERRUB THE BAT!

The author writes:

The Atari VCS, later known by its part number, 2600, had quite a few famous games on it, most notably E.T. and the disastrous port of Pac-Man; but it had many good (for the time) games on it as well. In honor of that, I offer a strip using the 2600s unique (for the time) game, "Adventure", the source of the phrase "Easter Egg", as applied to computer software.
