Digital Press - Classic Video Games
The Atari 2600 has, essentially, three categories of games: 1) the great ones; 2) the bad ones; and 3) the technically superior (but not necessarily great or bad) ones. While many will argue that ROTLA is a "1", by my standards I call this one a "3". In this reviewer's opinion, Warshaw’s masterpiece is Yar’s Revenge. THIS game is a frustrating adventure where you have to perform actions in a particular sequence. Certain mistakes will cost you a life, and some of these mistakes feel cheap when they happen to you. It is, however, an amazing game when you realize the entire adventure takes place in just 8K of ROM. Again, Warshaw displays his talents by creating an entire world with very little elbow room of his own. Like Yar’s Revenge, the graphics, sound, and effects are top-notch… at the very top of his class, in fact. But unlike Yar’s Revenge, this game feels very out of control.

The Video Game Critic
While graphically challenged and often frustrating, patient gamers will appreciate the intricate complexity of Raiders. There is a true sense of accomplishment when you finally uncover the Ark. Yes, it's possible to love this game, but you really need to try!
