   Thanks for the replies. Guess it's not a well known/distributed game. Got it   
   in the late '80's when I lived in Seattle. Must have been coded by a local   
   there. I believe it may have been written in BASIC. Basically, 2 animated   
   images (sprites?) on the screen, Bob, and a cat. After a short text intro   
   that says something like "Based on a true, but sad story: Commie Bob", it   
   tells you to start hitting keys, which moves Bob towards the cat, and I   
   ain't gonna mention much more ;-) but eventually Bob's mom comes in (another   
   sprite?), and there's a cartoon balloon on the screen, "Hi Son, I'm home",   
   in which Bob replies "Oh my Gawd!", and the mom takes out a gun and shoots   
   his son as she sees what's going on. Game over.
