Dog Daze

Dog Daze is a 2-player arcade game for the 8-bit Atari computer.

Two dogs appear on the screen, each controlled by a different player. Fire hydrants appear on the screen, and the first player to reach the hydrant makes it that color. Immediately a new hydrant then appears on the screen. On the top of the screen is a counter, and for every successfully tagged hydrant, it moves towards that player. The first person to take control of the counter is the winner. If the player runs into a hydrant previously tagged by an opponent, they also lose a point, until the screen is almost filled by tagged hydrants. Each player can throw a bone, and if it hits an untagged hydrant, the player gains the point. If the bone misses, it needs to be collected before it can be thrown again. At the end of a timed section, a car will begin to come across the screen, and if a dog is hit, it's game over.
