Description:
Bristles is a platform game developed by Fernando Herrera and released by First Star Software for the Atari 8-bit family in 1983. The player controls Peter the Painter, navigating through a cutaway view of a house to paint all the walls within a time limit. The game features ladders and elevators to move between floors, and players must avoid obstacles such as flying half-pints and dumb buckets that hinder progress. Later levels introduce additional challenges, including painting with invisible varnish, working in the dark, and dealing with mischievous characters like Brenda the Brat. The game is known for its fast-paced action and the use of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite as its soundtrack.
