Description
This 1980 game was eventually released 25 years after completion as one of the games in the flashback2.0 Atari Flashback 2.0. The prototype had been found years ago. Its creator, Cris Crawford, only found out about the release of his game when a fan informed him.
Roam the maze attempting to shoot the slower enemy who fires faster and moves through walls. This game has several innovations, including line-of-sight visibility and automatic aim assistance. Also, the player can hear the enemies heartbeat which is louder when the enemy is closer. The heartbeat is also in stereo. The player has clues for direction and distance of the enemy when they are out of sight. although the prototype is 1-player only, the Flashback 2.0 version added a 2 player mode.
