Played as part of Atari 50.
By itself, Yars' Revenge is a fairly bland shooter, being a complete cakewalk even on the hardest difficulty (but still admittedly one of the better 2600 games lol). But when taking into consideration the comic book it shipped with, it having an actual story and clear aesthetic direction, and some of the best sound design and graphics the 2600 has to offer, this had to have been pretty damn cool for the time.
