What Tom Boy is
Tom Boy was released in 1982. It was published by Quelle. It is available on Atari 2600 only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Tom Boy is a complete copy of the game Pitfall, which was released the same year by Activision. It replicates not only the lack of story but every other aspect of the original as well. The clone is so bold that it outright steals the entire gameplay, sprites, and animations. At Quelle, Rainbow Vision’s audaciousness (original title Tom Boy) didn’t seem to deter anyone, as the game was included in their German Atari catalog that same year under the title Dschungel Boy.
