Description
Crossbow Atari 2600
Crossbow for the Atari 2600 is a port of the 1983 arcade game by Exidy, released in 1987. The game is a light gun shooter adapted for the standard joystick controller, in which you must protect a group of unarmed friends as they journey to a castle.
Gameplay details
- The premise: You control an archer armed with a crossbow, protecting your five unarmed companions as they cross various dangerous environments to reach a castle and retrieve treasure.
- Levels and hazards: The game includes six “Danger Zones”: a desert, caverns, a volcano, a jungle, a drawbridge, and the castle hall. As your friends walk slowly across the screen, you must shoot incoming hazards, such as scorpions, bats, falling stalactites, and fireballs.
- Controlling the cursor: Since the Atari 2600 version does not use a light gun, you use a joystick to move a crosshair around the screen. Some reviews note that the cursor can feel a bit stiff to control.
- Adjustable difficulty: Using the difficulty switches on the console, you can adjust the speed of your shots. Higher difficulty levels can make the crosshair invisible until you shoot.
- Winning the game: To complete the game, you must get your friends to the end of the castle hall and shoot the flashing staff of a statue to reveal a trapdoor. This awards a bonus and restarts the game, but the treasure is never actually recovered in the 2600 version.
