Title
There are multiple levels of micromanagement in this game: You gotta watch out for the swirling attack from the alien, the homing missile, and you have to shoot or nibble the shield so you could fire a projectile straight onto Qotile. It's really engaging when you go head on with it.

    Hard to believe the same guy made the best and worst game for the 2600.

      Was nice to hear he rebounded after leaving the games industry to become a therapist.

    This all feels like a pretty good level of cuphead.

    Groundbreaking for the time. The limitations of the 2600 in terms of visuals and sound actually lend 'Yar' a surprising amount of atmosphere.
