Tutti Frutti is a video game in the action genre and published by Adventure International originally released in 1982. It is currently playable on Atari 8-bit.
Tutti Frutti is a classic 8-bit arcade game released by the Atari Corporation in 1982. A single-player game, it is a variant of the popular Pac-Man-style maze games, but with a focus on earning points by memorizing different combinations of fruits and bonuses as they rapidly move and rotate up and down the sides of the mazes.
At the start of the game, the player has a short period of time to observe each of the eight fruits and bonuses by watching them appear and disappear from the screens. When this period has elapsed, the real game begins and the fruits and bonuses rapidly move around and rotate up and down the walls of the mazes. The objective for the player is to navigate the maze while avoiding the ghosts, dubbed 'Inky' and 'Blinky', and identify the order of the fruit appearing on the borders of the maze.
Tutti Frutti features three levels of difficulty; Easy, Medium, and Hard. Each game level starts with the same combination of fruit and bonuses, which varies, meaning the player must memorize the specific orders of fruit in order to progress to the next level. The game allows one life per level and has a build-in timer. If the timer runs out, the player will be taken to the next level automatically, but they will lose a life.
The game also includes a variety of bonus items such as tomatoes, cupcakes and mushrooms that provide extra points when collected. If the player loses all three lives, they will have to restart the game at the beginning. To score the most points, the player can chain their moves together and pick up bonuses to increase their score multiplier.
Though not as popular as its 1980s counterparts, such as Pac-man, Tutti Frutti has proved an enduring classic of the classic Atari 8-bit gaming consoles. The game's unique and complex combination of memorization and dexterity challenges will no doubt continue to test and entertain players for many years to come.
