Toobin' (rev 3)
Atari Games • 1988


Race down rivers in an inner tube with a friend in Atari’s Toobin', a quirky and endlessly replayable sports game for two players. Take control of Bif or Jet as you navigate forty-five unique river courses, dodging obstacles like falling rocks, stampeding cattle, and even the occasional dinosaur! Collect cans to knock out hazards and pesky riverside characters – from fishermen to cavemen – while trying to avoid a lurking alligator that will slow your progress if caught. The gameplay is simple but engaging: use buttons to paddle forwards, backwards, and steer your inner tube, aiming for gates and collecting treasure along the way. As you accumulate points, you’ll earn patches to keep your tubes afloat and unlock increasingly elaborate end-of-run parties. With a vibrant color palette and catchy tunes, Toobin' provides a lighthearted and addictive experience perfect for casual competition or just enjoying some silly arcade fun. A unique contest was once available at participating arcades where players could find hidden letters to spell "Toobin'" and win a t-shirt – a testament to the game's playful charm and memorable design.
