Bobby Geht nach Hause	Quelle;Bit Corporation;CCE (Quelle)	1983	[48]***This game's graphics and sound a pretty amazing for a 1983 VCS game. It approaches Colecovision or Intellivision quality. Animated objects all over the background. A nice to day-night transition. A moving star field. Flowers blowing in the wind. This game also is one of the few to use every pixel of the VCS' maximum resolution. The gameplay isn't that bad either. Seems everybody was impressed with this game, so it was pirated all over the world. Except in the USA, where it was virtually unheard of until many years after the 2600 was discontinued. Bit Corporation did apparently publish at least one known cartridge in the US.

Cosmic Ark	Imagic;Quelle;CCE (Imagic)	1982	[126]* [125]Some versions have a selectable starfieldYour mission is to gather specimens from different planets aboard your cosmic ark, which contains survivors from the city Atlantis. In the game's first screen, you must fend off waves of meteors from all four sides of the screen, pushing the joystick in the direction you want to fire. The second stage requires you to pilot the small ship from Atlantis' ending scene to the surface of a planet, using its tractor beam to pick up life forms from the surface. While you're near the surface, planetary defenses will be firing at you. If your ship is hit, a creature will be returned to the planet's surface from your shuttle, and you'll need to navigate the ship back to the surface again. If you take too long on the planet, a warning of renewed meteor activity will sound and you must return immediately to the ark to defend it. Cosmic Ark does not give a set amount of lives. Instead, the ark starts with 40 fuel units, which are lost when the ark is hit by a meteor as well as each time you fire, and gained by destroying a meteor and capturing a beast on a planet. If you capture both beasties on a planet's surface before the warning klaxon sounds, your fuel will be topped off. If you run out of energy, the next hit on your ark will end the game.* [48]*** [48]	Atari 2600

Maze Craze: A Game of Cops 'n Robbers	Atari;Quelle (Atari)	1980	Each player controls a blue or red cop. Your cop's beat is a maze of city blocks, and you must move the cop from the left side of the maze to the exit on the right. GAME VARIATIONS Each game offers different variations or features which can assist or hinder you in finding your way out of the maze. CAPTURE - You must become a hero and capture three robbers before you win the game. To do this, move your cop toward the robber and make contact. During games that feature CAPTURE, color-coded bars appear for each player at the top of the screen. Each time you capture a robber, the appropriate bar disappears. (Blue bar = blue robber) 2, 3 OR 5 ROBBERS - Depending on the game you're playing, two, three or five robbers appear on the right side of the screen. They will be lurking around corners waiting for you. If they touch you, you automatically are knocked out of the game and lose. WOUNDS - You're paralyzed after robbers touch you. Only after a few moments will you regain strength, and then you can gradually move at your normal speed. NOTE: A wounded cop continues to move in the same direction that he was headed when he was wounded. Only at the next intersection can you change the cop's direction. TERROR - Your cop cannot exit the maze until your opponent is knocked out of the maze by the robbers. BLOCKADE - Confuse your opponent by leaving a blockade resembling a dead end in the maze. He can go through it, of course, but blockades can be useful strategy. Press the red controller button to leave a blockade. When you set up a new blockade, the previous one disappears. AUTOMATIC PEEK - This is your way out of the darkness! During invisible mazes or blackouts, the computer flashes the complete maze on the screen every few seconds. Try to recognize the way out before your opponent. PLAYER PEEK - During invisible games, a player can peek at the complete maze by pressing the red controller button. The maze remains on the screen momentarily. SCOUTS - During invisible mazes, your cop has a partner or scout who moves ahead of him. The scout randomly leads the way, but you are free to ignore his suggestions. NOTE: All of the 16 MAZE CRAZE games have four visibility options. GAMES 6 and 7 feature additional variations. GAME 6 with visibility 1 is a 5 ROBBERS Game Variation. GAME 6 with all other visibilities is a PLAYER PEEK Game Variation. GAME 7 with visibility 1 combines the 5 ROBBERS and TERROR Game Variations. GAME 7 with all other visibilities is a SCOUTS Game Variation. All other games allow you to choose your visibility options.	Atari 2600
