Puzzle Description:
Mr. Do, here being chased by an "A" in Do! Run! Run! The protagonist of several interesting games. They had the mechanic where you needed to TV-screen shaped enemies with E, X, T, R and A in them for an extra guy. I liked that there was risk and strategy in getting an extra guy, not just "get all the points you can." Also, extra guys were theoretically unlimited.

Do! Run! Run!: https://youtu.be/NzsmeTlCbgM?t=307 (just before extra man)
Nice. I don't remember that one.#5: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Sep 3, 2025 [SPOILER]
We had a game called Mr. Do for our Coleco, but he didn't look like this at all so they might not be related. I bet the surname Do is fairly common.#6: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Sep 3, 2025
