Atari 8-bit's Timber! was released in 1983, an action video game developed and published by Atari. This game has an objective of felling trees on a mountain side whilst navigating around various obstacles and hazards, playing as 'timberjack'. These include boulders, logs, avalanche and more.

Timber! increases in difficulty as you progress through the levels, with falling logs and boulders moving toward you at higher speed. With only five lives and limited energy, the game requires you to strategize your cutting and movements to stay alive. As you successfully cut down the trees, you score points needed to unlock the next higher level, by increasing the number of logs and boulders that will come your way.

The key to succeeding in Timber! is balancing the axe and cursor movements.

You score higher points for using few axes and rescuing the wildlife animals from falling objects; collecting eggs, butterflies, and birds gives you the highest scores with bonus points.

Though basic in concept, the game requires skillful coordination and quick reactions to succeed. Perfect for a quick rush of nostalgia, this classic Atari 8-bit title is sure to give you the adrenaline you crave.
