Also known as Hoover Dam, The Dam Game or The Levy Game.
According to programmer Dan Kitchen: 'It would've been called in the lab The Levy Game, and he looked like the cop from Keystone Kapers with a yellow slicker standing against a dam like Hoover Dam. With three or four levels of play the dam would shake, the lights would go off and water would sprout and begin to fill up and pour onto the screen. The whole screen would begin to fill up blue. You had to run around and clean the little holes and cement them. And obviously as the game ensued water began to fill up, you had to go underwater and you had a little life meter.'
And: 'Keystone Kelly appeared in a yellow rain slicker running around ladders and platforms repairing cracks that would appear in a background Hoover Dam style image complete with warning lights and a beautiful sun setting on the distant reservoir. The screen kernels were written such that I could change the background color on every scan line so the entire screen would slowly fill up with water if the player couldn't cement the cracks in time. There was also a mechanic to "empty" the water on the player's side of the dam to keep the game going.'
According to Dan Kitchen he got pulled off onto other higher priority projects like Apple II ports, so he was never able to get back and finish the game.
