Capture the Flag is Paul Edelstein's quasi-sequel to Way Out, this time around featuring split-screen competitive gameplay, possibly the first ever implementation of first-person "strafing" (albeit not quite in the form we know it today) and an early soundtrack from George "The Fat Man" Sanger, of late '90s CD-ROM game fame.

Amazing piece of programming and so was the copy protection. This is why you bought an Atari computer and not a 2600.

And the most incredible - it's very colorful and for two players at one computer! And very playable!

Wow! Regardless of whether it's real vector-based 3D or just raycasting, it's incredibly smooth for something on an 8-bit platform designed in the late '70s!

I really hate to do this to Sirius designer Paul Edelstein, but if you were all set to buy his maze game Wayout because of its incredibly realistic inside-the-labyrinth graphics, save your money and get his Capture the Flag instead. Capture the Flag not only does everything Wayout does, it does it forty times better - adding good game music, welcome movement system... [more]

Although many games are designed for one or two-player options, only a few really cry out for a human opponent. Capture the Flag is one of these. It's not that there's anything wrong with the solitaire game - only that the computer refuses to laugh or scream at those points during game play that a human would.
