Description

The third in the Atari 2600 Action Pack series- this time, with Atari games as well as Activision's.

Contains the following:
  • Breakout (Atari, arcade conversion: the original wall-breaking game, and the spiritual descendent of Pong.)
  • Night Driver (Atari, arcade conversion: The arcade's first 3D 1st person driving video game. Drive as fast as you can through a winding street course- in the middle of the night- and rack up points.)
  • Combat (Atari, arcade conversion of the Atari/Kee Tank series: Drive your tank or pilot your aircraft around a screen, shooting at your opponent.)
  • Private Eye (Activision: One of Activision's rarer late-release 2600 games. Drive around and solve crimes.)
  • Canyon Bomber (Atari, arcade conversion: 2 aircraft float over a canyon filled with bricks, dropping bombs; the person who destroys most wins! Also contains a depth-charge bombing game.)
  • Space War (Atari: Like every other game system of the time, you just had to have an adaptation of the PDP classic.)
  • Star Master (Activision: A space combat simulation- incredibly similar to Atari's genre-busting Star Raiders.)
  • Checkers (Activision: Unlike Atari's game, this one was fit into a 4k ROM.)
  • Pressure Cooker (Activision: A hard to find but popular 2600 game- control Short Order Sam as he builds gigantic hamburgers according to the whims of his patrons. Gets very frantic.)
  • Title Match Pro Wrestling (Absolute: Garry Kitchen's late-release wrestling game.)
  • Yar's Revenge (Atari: You are a Yar (a fly like creature) who must eat through a barrier and destroy the Qotile within.)

    Trivia

    For unknown reasons, this title had a very short shelf life (especially compared to the first to Action Packs), but it was later included in some of Activision's compilations.
