  Compared to Spectrum and C64, Atari’s visuals are weak. However, gameplay is very fast and the sound design is excellent!

  Originally released in 1982 for VIC-20 and ported to Atari 8-bit a year later, Jeff Minter's Gridrunner is a frantic arcade blaster that absolutely, positively does not have anything beyond level 5. Let's Play! https://youtu.be/m2K4dXs4FlU

  Gridrunner #1 is so small it only occupies 4KB of the cartridge space, like Atari Space Invaders 1980.
