Play Bobby Is Going Home Online

Game Overview

You play as Bobby, a little guy just trying to get home—but the universe seems determined to stop him. The Atari 2600 doesn’t give him much to work with: five lives, a ticking-down score, and a path full of rocks, broken bridges, and weirdly aggressive wildlife (butterflies? really?).

Each screen throws something new at you—dodging hawks, hopping over ponds—and the pressure builds as your score drains away the longer you take. By the seventh screen, you’re sweating, but then… relief. The eighth screen is just Bobby strolling home, no threats, like the game’s finally decided to cut him a break. Feels almost poetic.

It’s simple, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about getting him there in one piece.
