Adventures of Alfredo

Adventures of Alfredo, or Alfredo's Arduous Adventures was the original non-interactive computer animation series that featured a lovable trial ridden stick figure named Alfredo. Alfredo is something of a cross between Mr. Bill and Wile E. Coyote in that he suffers greatly in each episode but always comes back for more. Alfredo's darkly humorous adventures were chronicled on the electronic magazines Softdisk (for the Apple II) and Big Blue Disk (For the IBM PC). Alfredo was originally created by Matthew Heeschen, who programmed Alfredo's Lost Cause. The next eleven episodes would be written by Mike Nuzzo, while the final, interactive adventure, Alfredo's Stupendous Surprise, was created by John Romero. The non-interactive cartoons were converted to PC format for Big Blue Disk by George Leritte.
