Gameplay

Pig Out: Dine Like a Swine! is a cooperative platform game released by Leland Corporation in 1990 designed for up to three players. As portly swine, players must navigate a series of increasingly challenging levels filled with obstacles and hazards while collecting food items. Movement is controlled using an eight-way joystick, allowing players to run, jump, and climb their way through the environments. The game features vibrant graphics utilizing a palette of over one thousand colors across a 320x240 pixel resolution screen. Players work together to overcome obstacles like pits, moving platforms, and enemy creatures, gathering various foods scattered throughout each stage. A team effort is required as players must coordinate their actions to progress through the game's levels. Pig Out incorporates custom sound effects and music alongside audio generated by General Instrument AY8910 chips for an immersive experience. The game’s development involved a team of artists, programmers, and designers including John Rowe, Jerry Huber, Sam Powell, and Alex McKay.
