Toobin' is a 1988 action game developed and published by Tengen for Atari Games and arcades. Based on the recreational activity of tubing, it sees players traveling down Colorado, Nile, Styx, Canals of Mars and Jurassic, steering around obstacles (whirlpools, dinosaur tails, bullets, and more) and throwing cans at such enemies as alligators, hunters, and cavemen.[3]
The game has been ported to various home consoles and computers, and later emulated as part of other video games.
Toobin' is a vertically scrolling action game based on the recreational activity of tubing. The player controls either Bif or Jet, identified by the colors red and yellow respectively, as they travel down rivers. Although there is no ending so to speak, the objective of the game is to travel through five rivers in order to reach an end point. Upon completing the objective, the player is set back to the beginning to complete the cycle again.
On each river, players must contend with various obstacles that stand in their way. Along the way, the player can pass through gates and collect treasure chests to gain points, as well as grabbing cans which can be used to stun certain obstacles on the side of the river.
