Survival

Atari 8-bit 1983

Released in 1983, Survival was an Atari 8-bit video game that gave players a unique challenge - to survive for as long as they could. The game was published by Astrovision and programmed by Tom Banghart. The goal of Survival is quite simple - survive as long as possible by avoiding enemies. Players start off with a single life without any weapons, and they must keep clear of the hostile creatures that populate the terrain to stay alive. The creatures vary in strength; some are slow and harmless, while others are faster and more dangerous. Players must figure out when and how to avoid these monsters in order to survive. The terrain the player must traverse is a grid-like landscape with multiple levels. The landscape is populated with obstacles such as rocks, trees, and water. In order to progress and find rewards, players must maneuver around these obstacles while still avoiding enemies. This makes for a tricky but interesting game experience. Players are also in search of weapons, which can be used to expedite their progress and save them from enemies. Weapons come in the form of gun and missile pods, that can be collected while navigating the terrain. These weapons help the player eliminate foes and open paths to new levels. In addition to the single player mode, Survival offered an exciting two-player mode. Both players can appear on the same screen, compete against each other and fight off enemies. This mode added an extra layer of competition and made the game even more thrilling. The challenge and excitement of Survival was quite well-received at the time of its release, and it continues to be appreciated by many Atari 8-bit fans today. It was an excellent game for a quick session of survival-based fun.

The War of the Worlds

Atari 8-bit 1983

The War of the Worlds, originally released in 1983 for the Atari 8-bit game console, evokes many of the elements from the suspenseful H. G. Wells novel of the same name. The game follows the novel’s intriguing yet harrowing narrative with its adaptation of a dangerous alien invasion thoroughly engaging players for hours of thrilling and challenging gameplay. Players begin The War Worlds by taking control of a protagonist named George Herbert who has endeavored to fend off advancing alien invasions and protect a ray gun that pilots a spacecraft. First, the player must construct a barricade in order to ward off the alien assault. This entails strategically distributing limited resources in order to have the greatest chance of combination for success. The action within the game progresses with the alien attack wherein the player must guide the spacecraft with the ray gun to consecutively shoot down the enemy from the sky. This is a considerably fun yet difficult task as the alien forces are relentless and are equipped with powerful weapons. The added twist of the game is the need to find energy cells to fuel the ray gun. Without these, the player would not be able to vanquish every advancing alien. Following is a race against the clock as players have to deactivate the alien barriers with the remaining energy cells whilst still trying to vanquish the enemies from the sky. The War of the Worlds plays much like a real-time strategy game with its resource management combined with its high-paced arcade-style gameplay. The War of the Worlds has been hailed as one of the most beloved classic Atari 8-bit games of all time with its captivating story, challenging strategic resource management, and fast-paced arcade-style gameplay making it a must have for all gaming libraries. Though thought of as one of the greatest conversions from classic literary works into video game format, its impact have left an eternal mark in the world of video games.
