The original Widget video game was released in 1990. In the game, Widget must stop his evil twin from destroying the planet Earth. Widget was sent to Earth and uses his changing powers to fight enemies. Widget is a platformer casting players as an alien who shoots pellets out of a gun. As in Mega Man, the player can choose which level to play first, after beating the first level and gains a new ability (in this case new creatures he can change into) each time he beats a boss.
The game has various bugs, including numerous glitches that allow the player to move through walls. Other bugs are capable of crashing the game or warping the player to the next room of a level. Many of these glitches are exploited by speed-runs of the game as well.
