Three games were also produced by Atari Inc. Sears's Tele-Games brand was unrelated to the company Telegames, which also produced cartridges for the Atari 2600 (mostly re-issues of M Network games.) These games were published by Atari, and many were also licensed to Sears, which released these games under its Tele-Games brand, often with different titles. Games published by Atari and Sears Īll 130 of the initial era of Atari 2600 games were developed and manufactured by Atari, Inc. The final licensed Atari 2600 games released in North America were Ikari Warriors, MotoRodeo, Sentinel, and Xenophobe in early 1991, and the final licensed games released in Europe were Klax and Acid Drop in 19 respectively.

Time Pilot is best played with a joystick as opposed to NES style game pads (like any of the classic 8Bitdo controllers) which don’t give you a great range of motion and are sometimes prone to really tiring out your (my) thumbs.This is a list of games for the Atari Video Computer System, a console renamed to the Atari 2600 in November 1982. All you need to do is shoot like mad and avoid them, hoping that your bullet spray will take them out before they get you. The motion of the clouds and enemy planes coming at you are there to create the illusion that you’re actually moving.
Unlike another classic Multidirectional Shooter like Asteroids (which is quite similar to Time Pilot when you think about it), your craft in Time Pilot is fixed in the center of the screen. Time Pilot is a Multidirectional Shooter, meaning that your spacecraft can rotate 360 degrees in order to shoot down its enemies. The 1984 sequel in TimePilot ’84 expanded greatly on the concept and while we won’t go into detail here, we’ll probably have to review it as a Retro Game of the Week feature at some point. Unfortunately, after beating 2001, you teleport right back to 1910, and the game repeats for as long as you can survive.
In Time Pilot you control a futuristic (for 1982) spacecraft, fighting off enemies in different times: 1910, 1940, 1982 and finally, the distant future…aka 2001 where the enemies are alien saucers. This week’s Retro Game of the Week is Konami‘s Time Pilot, an old favorite from the early 80’s that made sure you did not take your eyes off the screen because if you did, even for a second, you’d immediately turn into a fireball.
