Marauder for the Atari 2600 may look a lot like Berzerk at first glance, but Tigervision’s 1982 maze shooter has some clever ideas of its own. There’s a real objective to your exploration, a temporary invincibility shield, faster-paced action, and a unique line-of-sight mechanic that changes when enemies are even visible. Originally based on a larger computer game from On-Line Systems — the company that would become Sierra On-Line — this 2600 version preserves the alien-base infiltration half of the original experience. In this Friday Plays, we take a closer look at Marauder, see how it compares to Berzerk, and find out whether this overlooked Atari game really has more going on than its simple appearance suggests.

We can hardly be card-carrying sci-fi nerds today without checking in on not only the latest incarnation of Star Trek, but also the unexpected bonus premiere of Seth MacFarlane’s “The Orville” on FOX. Two series surprising viewers for very different reasons. What does this say about the current state of Trek on TV, and what’s […]

The Atari 7800 was an Atari console I entirely missed growing up. I was already into the 8-bit computers by the time it launched, so these versions of 80s classics are entirely new to me. Come along for the adventure as I take a first look at what made the 7800 ProSystem so different from […]
