Description

"Pigs in Space Starring Miss Piggy" is a unique video game that was released for the Atari 2600 console in 1983, developed and published by Atari, Inc. The game is based on the "Pigs in Space" segment from the beloved television series, "The Muppet Show." Players dive into a whimsically crafted universe where they control the Muppet crew aboard the spaceship Swinetrek. The game is segmented into three distinct mini-games, each featuring different characters and gameplay mechanics. Captain Link Hogthrob battles invading saucers in "Chickenvaders," First Mate Piggy confronts the mysterious space creatures of "Pastaroids," and Dr. Julius Strangepork must navigate through dangerous stars in "Escape from the Planet of the Gonzoids."

Each mini-game in "Pigs in Space Starring Miss Piggy" offers a different arcade-style challenge, reflecting the innovative and humorous spirit of the Muppets. "Chickenvaders" is a nod to the classic "Space Invaders," while "Pastaroids" and "Escape from the Planet of the Gonzoids" parody "Asteroids" and "Scramble," respectively. This Atari 2600 title is notable for its attempt to blend humor with engaging gameplay and for featuring voice simulations, which was an advanced feature for games at that time. The marriage of the iconic Henson characters with popular video game formats of the era provided a delightful crossover that appealed to both Muppet fans and video game enthusiasts alike, making it a cherished part of classic video gaming history.
