Play as the Fly Yar and shoot at this floating multicolored ship's barrier that shoots a heat seeking shot at you that goes slow but follows you every where you go, after exposing the primary ship, you go beyond the multicolored barrier and have to line up a shot and not get hit by this explosive missile nuke blast. Rinse and repeat. Fun game!

Atari 2600:
4 Way Pong except you're able to catch and launch the ball, this is a great port of the arcade game and is as extremely fun to say. I prefer the arcade version in terms of visuals, but the 2600 version feels faster, but regardless both versions are really good but the arcade one is better. So because I gave the Arcade one 4.5, im giving the 2600 version 4/5 stars, still a great port.

Arcade:
This essentially feels like 4 way Pong except faster paced and being able to catch and launch the ball at fast pace! It's extremely fun to play and doesn't feel cheap. This game is great, loved my time with the arcade version! Though it sometimes does feel like the cpus are trying to take you out first though. But still I enjoyed my time with this one, and it looks great!

2600 Version:
Bigger paddle, faster paced and more controllable, much better version than the arcade version. Had a great time with Super Breakout 2600! Even if the sound design is godawful.

Arcade:
the arcade version of Super Breakout feels like an arcade version of Breakout attempting to take your quarters, and im playing this on Atari 50. This version was specifically made to be as tedious because it's an arcade game. Regardless for breakout and being faster paced, it's fine, wish the paddle was bigger but like I said this is an arcade version, it's suppose to feel like the game is working against you, and while you can have fun, it'll find a way to screw you since it's an arcade game. Still I enjoyed it, not as much as Breakout 2600 though.

So this is essentially the ATARI 2600 version of No Man's Sky where you explore a galaxy and it's super fun and you move in a grid like pattern while taking part in the exploration itself when traversing occasionally experiencing attacks from enemies, but the expansiveness and wide vision of this game are sight to behold. It's an amazing experience and might be one of my favorite 2600 games!
Played this on Atari 50 and couldn't get enough of it!

Secret Quest is another great and fun Atari game that has you exploring a dungeon or area in a similar vain to that of legend of Zelda as you explore and find the exit with these portals, all while making sure your energy and gas meters are in check. There are enemies that are easy to kill and the sword itself is very response to use. While not amazing, I did have a great time with it and will gladly go back and replay it.

Shoot at enemies that are coming from above while a weird rocket think starts rising up from the side, you can above and below you. It certainly feels like a game that didn't really have an established idea of what the point of it was. You can move left and right within the area you're stationed, and shoot above and below you while enemies quickly move left and right and some shoot at you, it's both difficult simple. But really releasing this prototype in 2022 is more so as a novelty rather than a game you'd actually want to play if you had an ATARI 2600 back then, but still for what it is and because it's a prototype I can give it a pass but it's not getting anything above 1.5 stars.

So for the most part, it certainly is football and considering how much it would've taken to make a game high tech as this is impressive. A lot of Madden fans should thank this game for what they have now... though considering it's Madden by EA... probably not so much. But anyway the game itself plays like a rough football game, that works in terms of hutting and playing as the quarterback, but the defense always seems to knock you down or intercept the ball perfectly. And sometimes your Wide Receivers won't be able to even get the ball, some of them will be crashing against another player, the one in the middle will be glitched out, and the ones on the side have a 25% of actually catching the ball.
When sides change as to who has the ball, the CPU becomes moronic and ends up giving away the ball, rinse and repeat. Maybe you'll get an opportunity to score but that's if the game decides to be nice. It's a grandfather to all the Madden games, and nice experiencing but I'll probably never play it again.

RealSports Volleyball has the right amount of flare when it comes to volley ball, it controls perfectly, has a trial and error aspect, and has the perfect amount of difficulty when playing against a CPU, but even then playing with another player is equally as fun. The game is a treat to play.
In the series of Real Sports I like: Soccer, Tennis, Boxing, and this one slots right into those other 3. Great fun sports Atari 2600 Tennis game!

RealSports Boxing is a fine enough simple boxing game where your primary attack button is able to be used as the punch button but also by going backwards and holding the action button you're able to block. It's a simple and fun boxing game, that certainly has difficulty but for the most part I liked it for what it is, a simple Boxing game on the Atari 2600. Played on Atari 50.

This along with Real Sports Soccer is really fun and responsive to play, it flows perfectly in terms of a tennis game. It's tennis.

Compared to all the other Real Sports games, this one is honestly the most I had fun with but that's because it's simple and easy to play. Though I find it dumb there's no Goalies in the game. I wonder if in Europe they called this Real Sports Football and in South America they called it "Real Deportes Futbol"
Giving it 4.5 Stars cause I only really enjoyed this specific real sports game. Though that might be my biased since I love Futbol! (VAMOS VAMOS!!! ARGENTINA!!! VAMOS VAMOS!!! A GANAR!!! )

It's a baseball game where it feels like anytime you're going to pitch, the first pitch will be a strike and every other pitch will be a BALL. It works, and it's a baseball game, only positive way to look at it is it gave us the MLB games, so this is a great grandfather to that, but im never playing this ever again. Played on Atari 50.

Simple Racing game made for Atari 2600, it's fun and simple and has different courses to go through, Though here it's called INDY 500, within Atari 50 it's called Racing 500, probably because they didn't have the license of Indianapolis anymore. Still for what it is, it's fine enough racing game.
