THE OiNK! COMPUTER GAME

Now this is a rare thing indeed: a piece of OiNK merchandise that’s not only pretty easy to come by but which also has a wealth of information about it out there. Created for the classic 8-bit home computers of the 80s this has been a mini passion project for the retro gamer in me. History has not been kind to this particular piggy product but is that justified? I’m not going to give the game away (no pun intended), you’ll have to find out for yourselves. Off you trot(ter).
