Pickaxe PetePickaxe Pete is cartridge number 43 in the official Magnavox/Philips line of video games for the Philips Videopac. Pickaxe Pete is similar in many ways to Donkey Kong, and most probably drew more than a little inspriation from it. You play a miner named Pickaxe Pete, and you start off in the middle of the screen with a pick-axe. There are three doors from which boulders are coming, bouncing down the mine-shafts, every time Pete destroys one of these he gains 3 points, although the axe wears out after while and disappears. When two boulders collide, they explode, and out comes either a pick-axe which floats to the bottom of the screen, a key which floats to the top, or nothing. If Pete has no axe, you can either jump over boulders by pressing action(gainging him 1 point), or get to the bottom of the mine to retrieve a new axe(gaining a 5 point bonus). If he collects a key then he can enter the doors, which lead him into bonus levels. See also: List of Videopac games
