Difficult game, especially without the instructions and little idea what you’re meant to be doing. Recently found out theres a modern PC port so wil check out at some stage.

Atari had some interesting ones. Wait until you discover Custer's Revenge...

And the others!

Boy howdy doo. I actually had this game on the state-of-the-art (for the early 1980's) Atari 2600. Everything about it was awesome, especially if you liked manipulating your joystick to one vaguely erotic pixelated mess chasing another round a TV screen in a pornographic Pac-Man rip-off while...
