Description

Atari CX2607, Sears #99828, rarity 2 Common+. 1 player or 2 players. Uses the paddle controllers. The Atari cart comes in text label and picture label variations. The Sears cart comes in 2 text label variations and a picture label variation. NTSC. Released in North America.

The manual says "For three and four player games, you will need an additional set of Paddle Controllers." But there seems to be no actual 3 or 4 player options in the game. The manual goes on to confirm there are only 1 and 2 player games.

While David Crane programmed the Atari version it is unknown who re-coded the Sears variation.
