Pixel Burglar
When Michael Joseph Daly bought his ‘Computrek™ Home Adventure Computer” in 1986 he wasn’t aware of its secrets. He wasn’t aware of the curse! Moments after loading Crime Alert™ off a pirated 5 1/4 inch floppy disk Pixel Burglar leapt from the screen and into his den. Michael’s entire family was present to this pixelated misanthrope crash through their window and careen down street, “blipping” and “booping” all the way.
The Pixel Burglar is a tricky and almost unstoppable criminal. Even if you memorize his pattern, you’ll discover he’s impervious to most harm. If you’re lucky enough to outsmart him by, say, reaching the finish line first, he’ll only re-spawn and the game will start over. It’s an endless battle, the Pixel Burglar is dauntless.
