Players uncover mini-games in 'Pip-Boy' app

A few tech-savvy gamers have discovered that if they tweak with Pip-Boy's files, they are able to uncover a selection of mini games. One game, featured in a video uploaded by Robert Peterson, called Red Menace, is a take on Donkey Kong. The only differences with the game are that instead of Donkey Kong stealing the princess away, a communist steals a vault girl away. There are also a few discrepancies with the types of levels, one featuring conveyor belts that the player must move against.

Three other mini games that have been discovered are Zeta Invaders (Space Invaders), Pipfall (Pitfall), and an RPG called Grognak. None of these games are direct copies of the games they are mimicking, with Zeta Invaders featuring a farm-esque landscape and aliens, while Pipfall has a goal of collecting bobbleheads before a timer runs out.

Grognak is a game all on its own, featuring elements of a classic RPG game with its own cast of characters and storyline.

A video of the four unveiled mini games was uploaded, thanks to TroyIrving.

Bethesda recently released the Pip-Boy companion app that couples with Fallout 4, which is set to be released on November 10. The app is designed to connect to whatever version of Fallout 4 you have purchased and will show character stats, your inventory and map data as well as various miscellaneous options, like mini games.

However, the app is only in demo mode for the time being. The only available options for the app so far are the ability to view fake character stats, inventory and maps. There is also an option to play a mini game called Atomic Command, Fallout 4’s version of Missile Command, where players destroy atomic bombs before they reach important American cities.
