Today we pay another visit to a beloved publisher of the Atari 8-bit days: Synapse Software — and one of the company’s most well-regarded games.
Rainbow Walker isn’t an especially original premise — it’s a Q*Bert-style game in which you have to hop on all the squares to change them to the correct colour — but the remarkable thing here is the incredibly slick presentation, featuring a gorgeous 3D effect, smooth movement and some fancy special effects. It’s not hard to see why the game is regarded as one of the finest in the Atari 8-bit’s library.
Enjoy the video below, and don’t forget to subscribe on YouTube for more.
That’s an interesting looking game! I might have to try it out sometime! The cover does remind me of Mario Kart’s Rainbow Road (even though this game came before that) lol
