I'm not sure why, but I almost never play this game. It's fun, controls ok, and has great variety, but for some reason it's never on my mind when I sit down and play Atari. Maybe I'll dig it out tonight. Thanks for the review
After 3 decades I finally got the meaning of the debris part haha (never understood what was going on at the time, but I got the message I had to avoid those little blocks )
I played this game a lot when I was very young (probably 5 years old), when it was new. This game really stuck with me, although its lack of widespread popularity meant I had forgotten its name! Anyway, I will say that I really liked the night time cycle. It felt like an interesting way to make me remember and predict where the missiles and enemies were. Kind of a nice challenge. I think it’s interesting in retrospect that it’s a side scroller only to the left, versus most games that fly to the right, the way one reads. I’m left-handed but I don’t know whether that would be a factor in how I liked the game.
Some how never heard of this one. Sounds like it's cheap enough that I should maybe pick it up. Looks like it could be pretty fun. Thanks for the review!
Thank you to everyone who joined the chat at my first RUclips premier! It was fun and I may do another in the future.
Never seen this game for the 2600. Many thanks

Patrol those planets, No-Swear!

I got a lot of play time out of this when I first bought it back in the early 80s. It was surprisingly good... I had low expectations going in.
Looks like a game to "play at your own risk" :D

Nice box! Always thought only Imagic were silver. Right to left gameplay seems weird (yeah, I know, Defender and ESB, but those go both directions).

First side scrollling 2600 game?
I'm not sure why, but as a kid, this game gave me the creeps. Thanks for the play-through!
Cute-looking game.
