Beta 3.13

Tag-Along Todd:

    Dateline:  Your front yard, Spring 1983

    It's windy outside, and you're outside cleaning the yard.  Every so
    often, the wind blows a 12-pack of empty pop cans into your yard
    from the neighbor's yard.  You're minding your business cleaning the
    yard, but Todd wants to play.  Your family got an Intellivision for
    Christmas, and now you're the coolest kid on the block.  Todd's been
    hanging around you ever since.

    You really don't want to play with Todd, but your mom said to
    play nice.  So if Todd catches up to you, too bad -- you're playing
    with Todd today.  (At least maybe you can play Tennis or Baseball
    now that you'll have a second player.  Baseball's cool.  And Todd
    doesn't know how to steal bases like you do. *evil grin*)

    But really, you just want those pop cans.  Hey, at $0.10 a can
    refund, you might be able to get a 1 player game like Star Strike.

    See how many cans you can clean up while completely avoiding Todd.
