This is fucking excellent! Love the feel of it and the beefy sound effects. End of level boss is really cool and the use of a secondary weapon not common on a 2600 game. So well made, really addictive, great game!

Great classic. It does tend to turn a bit too repetitive a bit too quickly, but good fun when you have a few minutes to consume. Atari 2600 version is the best of the three I tried (C64, Atari 800 and Atari 2600).

@Chris David Rolfe programmed the game and Larry Zwick did the graphics engine.

David Rolfe didn't program this version -- he created the original, on the Intellivision. It's currently unknown who the programmer of the 2600 version was. It would be great if you could ferret that out somehow! (I know, I know..."Feel free.")

not the version with the best graphics (Coleco!), but with a nearly unbeatable gameplay. Absolutely Great!
