The best way to play this is probably on the Atari 50 collection. The control layout is far more intuitive on a controller.
This is a really good game that I feel has been totally forgotten by any generation that didn't happen to play it on the Atari 400/800 or 5200. It feels way ahead of any of its contemporaries in games at the time, even arcade games.
playing thru atari 50 and this is probably one of the most innovative games ever that is still fun to play now. something like adventure is super innovative but its aged terribly, whereas a lot of the best arcade games very clearly pull cues from space invaders or non-VG games like pinball and sports. but this is a whole new thing
