God damn it,I love this game!I just discovered it and I didn’t expect to have fun playing an Atari game,because I never actually liked that generation of games.Viva River Raid!
wow now this brings back some serious nostalgia. as i was watching i started to remeber the patterns of what was coming up next, like when you had to slow down alot to be able to hit the ship infront of the bridge at a sharp angle. God i hate being old. id give anyting to go back to that time
This is not an Atari game – it’s Activision. And Cosmic Ark is not Activision – it’s Imagic.
Story:
Your mission is to score as many points as possible on the “River of No Return”, according to the game programmer Carol Shaw. She also adds that you should blow-up the fuel depots as you refuel, so you’ll get maximum points.
As I first saw this game, i just thought WTF? An activision 2600 game cartridge without a rainbow?!? But this is one of my favorite games, it´s just fuckin awesome
This is one of the 3 or 4 games from the 2600 that I really miss playing on a genuine atari. I think I might have to pick one up since my mom gave mnie away when I was 15 for reasons still unknown to me.

I used to play this when I was 3 or 4.
The water was purple on my tv.
I guess it was the Mississippi river.

Ohh… I just have the rainbow in mind everytime I hear activision
Damn, Activision was great on the 2600…
July 6th, 2009 at 5:01 am
The rainbow did not arrive until 1983.
Don’t believe? Just compare Pitfall (1982) without a rainbow and Pitfall 2 (1984) that has the rainbow. Basically they changed their logo.
