Hunt & Score

aka: A Game of Concentration, Memory Match
Moby ID: 9113

Atari 2600 version

Less fun than the card game version

The Good
If you can't get enough of concentration, you might like this faithful adaptation.

The Bad
Concentration is not a very fun game. Sound effects are grating.

The Bottom Line
Remember those days when the whole gang would run out to the clubhouse, deal out a set of cards and you'd while away the afternoon trying to remember exactly where that king of diamonds went to. Yeah, me neither.

In the event that someone did love concentration, Atari brought that game to your television screen. Only with worse graphics (excepting the wonderfully evocative deer) and sound effects that will quickly have you hitting the mute button. All the concentration fun is here. The selecting of two cards, the looking whether the two cards are matching, and the tabulation of a score. If you get bored of that, there's a game variation that adds "wild cards" - sensational.
