River Raid

All in all, River Raid is easy to play and just plain fun. On the 2600, it really doesn't get a whole lot better than this.

"River Raid" är alltså ett snabbt prickskyttespel, där övning sannerligen ger färdighet. Ju mer jag har spelat och lärt mig "kartan", ju skickligare blir jag naturligtvis. Och "River Raid" är just ett sådant spel som jag aldrig tröttnar på, trots att det ju faktiskt är ett krigsspel – om än skapat av en kvinna. Carol Shaw ska ha en stor eloge för det!

With crisp and colorful graphics and great gameplay, Shaw has created a winner. It does get tougher as you progress, especially since fuel becomes less plentiful and the fact that you have to do some fancy acrobatics to avoid hitting the ground. This shooter soars high in my book.

Hello, my name is Matt, and I'm not a classic gamer. No matter how hard I tried, I could never sit for an extended period of time only to rack up a high score. I have to have some sort of finale, a conclusion, anything except a never-ending game. There are a few games that transcend this problem though. River Raid is one of the games that I could sit for hours and play, growing ever-frustrated by the monotony, but unable to drop the controller.

O exército inimigo tomou posições importantes em um rio. Com um poderoso caça supersônico, você fará um emocionante vôo rasante para destruir o arsenal adversário, composto por barcos e helicópteros. Muito cuidado: você não poderá colidir com eles, ou perderá uma vida. A cada inimigo abatido são computados pontos, que serão maiores quanto mais difícil for abatê-los.

River Raid ist ein netter kleiner Klassiker, der für zwischendurch auf jeden Fall noch Spaß machen kann. Speziell auf dem Atari 2600 gehört es in jede Sammlung.
