Game Details

shooting with limited firepower, enter doors to get bullets, and/or machine gun upgrade - a sinister overtone to the game with dark music and evil enemies - overall a very challenging game to play, each level based on time to complete.

by inajamaica. Comment: "This is an AWESOME game. Jumping up and down from different levels on the screen is fun, and the sounds are great. The music is also really cool. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is that the difficulty increases almost exponentially by the 3rd stage. Seems a little unfair!" (2004-03-01 13:16:52Z)

by marminZ80. Comment: "This is a difficult, but attractive game with superb character animations. Look at the hero when he's going to jump on that second floor! Sleak. The bad guys wear creepy masks, never stop shooting at you, and they're even sending dogs at you." (2003-04-20 16:37:45Z)

Early Atari documentation list
Submitted by Gregg Woodcock (woodcock@bnr.ca) Here is a pretty complete list of documentation for Atari's early arcade video games. Note that "TM" stands for "Technical Manual" and "DP" stands for "Drawing Package [supplement]" which was later renamed to "SP" which stands for "Supplement Package". I am not sure what "CO" stands for but the "C" could be for "Correction" because most of the CO documents were errata or addendums to the manuals. In addition, most Atari games had "ST" documents which w
