<i>Preppie!</i> (video game)

Preppie! is an action video game for the Atari 8-bit family published by Adventure International in 1982. Developer Russ Wetmore's name is prominently displayed on the box cover. Leaning on the preppy trend of the early 1980s, the game follows prep schooler Wadsworth Overcash who must navigate the hazards of a busy country club to retrieve golf balls. The gameplay and screen layout borrow heavily from Konami's Frogger, with lanes of traffic at the bottom and a river at the top, and it contains some of Frogger's trademarks such as floating alligators. Reviewers recognized the game as derivative, but called the music and visuals some of the best for Atari 8-bit computers.

A prepper engages in survivalism, a movement who actively prepare for emergencies, including possible disruptions in social or political order.

Preppie! II is a video game written by Russ Wetmore for the Atari 8-bit family and published by Adventure International in 1983. Subtitled "The continuing saga of Wadsworth Overcash," it is a sequel to 1982's Frogger-inspired Preppie!. It loosely follows the preppy theme, primarily through a story in the manual, but replaces the country club setting with an abstract, overhead view maze. Some obstacles from the first game appear in the second.
