An alien that is positively pink

With platform games festering in a quagmire of predictability, in 1994 Data Design Interactive attempted to revive the tired genre by adding a dash of Yoshi's Island-esque nuance. Aside from charming us with sumptuous, console-style aesthetics, Pinkie's task is to gather a harvest of dinosaur eggs strewn across the galaxy to avert their extinction. On foot, he's susceptible to one-hit premature death. Perched atop his upgradeable Pinkie Pod unicycle transporter, however, he's a formidable eco-warrior undaunted by deceptively cute, yet unfathomably angry foes.
