River Raid

Online version of River Raid for Atari 2600. River Raid is a vertically scrolling shooter designed and programmed by Carol B.

The player's jet can only move left and right - it cannot maneuver up and down the screen - but it can accelerate and decelerate.

Assuming fuel can be replenished, and if the player evades damage, gameplay is essentially unlimited...
