Joust

1982's Joust was one of the first video games to popularize two-player cooperative play. Featuring knights mounted on flying ostriches, players wage war with an army of buzzard-mounted adversaries. The key to successful engagements is to touch enemies only when you are higher than them.

Today marks our third anniversary!

We had a lot of fun stuff planned to celebrate the occasion, so we're a little bummed that we can't share the love with any of you in person. Regardless of everything going on right now, we sincerely appreciate your support and we can't wait to kick off year #4.

Once we're able to convene with the public again, prepare your faces for the return of ice cream hoagies.

OK folks, how would you like to stock up on something more delicious than toilet paper?

We're considering making heaping HALF GALLONS of ice cream that could be summoned directly to your door. If that sounds like something you need in your life, please tell us what flavors you're missing the most.

We hope to have more to share soon!

Sadly, conditions have shifted and we no longer feel comfortable remaining open. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tubby Robot will be closed until further notice.

Stay safe out there, everyone! We'll see you on the other side.

March 13, 2020

In the aim of maintaining the safety of our patrons and staff, Tubby Robot has transformed into Anti-Pandemic Mode.

Orders will now be taken and deployed directly through our tactical windows! The front entry has been locked and rendered effectively impenetrable! Every descriptive sentence will now end with an exclamation point!

We're bringing people together this Valentine's Day with a collaborative sundae, thanks to the sweethearts at My Sweet Gluttony bakery.

That's right: the cupcake sundae IS BACK, and this time it's decked out with our strawberry ice cream and seasonally-appropriate sprinkles. We'll be serving it all weekend or until all the cupcakes are devoured, which is exactly what happened last time.

It's February, and that means it's Girl Scout Cookie month in Manayunk!

We've brought back our fan-favorite Cookie Season sundae, which is based upon our Chocolate Mint Chocolate ice cream and topped with hot fudge, cookie crumbles, and authentic Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies. Come and get it!

In this episode of Tubby Talk, Terry, Steve, and Chris talk about the fighting games of the 16-bit era.

Games discussed include: Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, TMNT: Tournament Fighters, Primal Rage, Clay Fighter, Ballz, Saturday Night Slam Masters, Darkstalkers, Shaq Fu, Killer Instinct, World Heroes, King of Fighters, Bloody Roar, Skullgirls, and Divekick.

In the unending pursuit of deliciousness, one of our favorite tactics is mashing different things we love together. That's why we herald the sundae as the ideal canvas: there are very few limits to what can one can create.

The Cupcake Sundae is our latest creation, and it comes by way of our friends at My Sweet Gluttony. We take a decadent, freshly baked cupcake, and top it off with ice cream instead of the traditional frosting.

Come by soon, because quantities are limited and we're only serving it this Saturday and Sunday!
