SHIELDS UP! TIME TO STOP THE AVALANCHE

Overview

A 2600 adaptation of the 1978 arcade game, Avalanche brings an exciting twist to paddle games for the console. Use your multi-level shields to stop an avalanche of boulders falling toward you. A homebrew favorite programmed by John Champeau gets its official Atari release with an exclusive new Expert skill level added and new gameplay options that add an extra challenge. Play solo or versus a friend to see whose paddle skills reign supreme.

The earth is shaking beneath your feet. You hear the growing sound of ice breaking and the rumble of snow tumbling down a hill. It’s an AVALANCHE! Work at top speed to shield the research outpost from the rocks and ice chunks tumbling down the mountain. Use paddle controllers to adjust your shields, stop the onslaught, and save the day!

Way better than i expected. Rocks that scatter in different directions was an awesome feature. I like this game way better than Kaboom!

Classic gameplay

Atari did a great job with this rerelease! Play like the original 👍

Atari Avalanche 2600 is the best port of the Atari coin-op arcade video game that I wanted for my Atari 2600 home video game console. I rate this at ☆☆☆☆☆ out of five stars. Thank you very much Atari Interactive Inc. and John Champeau.

This new batch of games is better than ever!

The newest batch of games are better than ever! The games are a blast, and the quality of the boxes and manuals is noticeably better than the prior offerings. Folding is well centered, the paper seems to be of better quality and the shrink wrap isn’t crushing the boxes like it frequently did in the past. I’m looking forward to the next games introduced with heightened anticipation!
