This movie tie-in game is probably one of the best games in this collection. Twin stick shooters were still a pretty rare commodity in this time, and it's pretty innately fun to play for it. Very simple, but it's still fun to race against the bomb in the center of the screen.

Cloaks and Dagger is a game that is overall a cool concept but also a mash of 4 games Atari couldn't agree on and it shows, still for what it's is, where you get from point A to B while trying to collect green... things (idk they're just green) and then getting to the next door before an enemy hits you or you touch a bomb. It's fine for what it is, but definitely feels like a game cobbled up to see if mixing 4 things into 1 works when there's no through line that brings it all together still its fine.

Kind of a gorgeous game but feels way more elaborate than it needs to be sometimes. There's a lot of pick ups and obstacles to consider and hectic to the point it almost feels a bit fruitless most of the time. The beginning screens and the level transition look nice along with the sound but that's really it here.
