Finished my first ever Atari 2600 game. What a chore it is to program for that machine. I ended up using less than 4k for the entire program. Just did it to see if I could and Ive always had a soft spot for the old Atari. It sure makes me appreciate even more what the great programmers did with the limited hardware. Game story: On the planet Uttertopia destructive mutant cows began appearing and eating all the trees. Alarmed, the inhabitants of the planet mounted an attack to wipe them out before all was lost. The briefing: You will have three ships to complete the task. If you fight well we will have enough time to provide a re-enforcement. The mutant cows have developed an outer shell on their bodies that are impervious to our firepower. It has been discovered the only way to destroy one is to hit it at a soft spot on the head. Because of methane gas buildup our ship engines will not be able to enter the lower atmosphere as time progresses. If your ship is shot down there is still a chance to take out one more cow by crashing into them. There are rumors the mutant cows have developed a SOB weapon in addition to their deadly cowpies. Proceed with caution!
