Atlantis 1982

Is it still worth playing?

Imagic's 1982 fixed shooter, first released for the Atari 2600, in which Gorgon warships attack the city of Atlantis in order to destroy it with death rays. You fire from the central Acropolis Command Post or from sentry posts on each side of the screen, and smaller, faster ships are worth more points. Enemies attack in waves, the city sections you kept alive score points at the end of each wave, and every 10,000 points restores one destroyed section. A two player mode exists, and the Intellivision version uses crosshairs, launchable pods and a day to night cycle in which you use searchlights. Start it today and three fixed guns, with a city that shrinks with every miss, turn each wave into a choice of which ship to shoot first.
