Title
With analog controls, this is an absolute zen in video game form, and I like tying to Mike of AVGN's explanation of why in here: https://www.youtube.com/wa...4xYEpe-M#t=938

EDIT: Actually it's just a ripoff of Avalanche.

Title
Compared to games of the time, this is an absolute blast. Very unique and tense gameplay. Definitely recommended as far as Atari 2600 games go.

Title
weak fireworks
A bandit is dropping bombs and its up to your job to catch them by moving right and left. Thats it, thats the game. Its very simple, and gets boring even faster that. I think there is a porn atari game based on this concept, there is definitly an AGVN episode about that. About this one though, there really is no reason to play it. Its dated as hell, and its a clear case of why the videogame market was about to crash.
