Happy Tuesday! While I prepare something more substantial for your reading pleasure later this evening, I invite you to enjoy the latest installment in my retro gaming side project.
The Atari 8-Bit is the first computer I used growing up, and it’s a platform I still very much enjoy busting out today. It’s somewhat lesser known than its contemporaries, the Commodore 64 and the ZX Spectrum, but it has a great library of games and software.
Today we take a look at a classic (and influential) vertically scrolling shoot ’em up, Caverns of Mars. Enjoy!
Seeing the video reminded me of just how quickly the difficulty ramped up in that game. I think many of my attempts over the years involved completing that first cavern then dying soon after. Great video! 🙂
Yeah, I’d forgotten about it too, haha. Even infinite lives don’t help if you physically can’t get past part of it!
