Once again, pesky aliens are giving us Earthlings lots of grief. We previously fought them off but they managed to pinch a time machine so are using that to alter history and wreak havoc by taking crucial hostages from each period in an attempt to halt their influence. From the invention of the wheel in prehistoric times to England's King Arthur uniting Britain! And where would any of us be today without Japan and its technical wizardry? Yep, we cannot allow this - the fight is on!

What an accomplishment this game is. Created with such a small team, the result is really amazing. The game oozes creative passion. While the gameplay is really well balanced, it is a tough cookie, very hard from time to time with its moments of sheer frustration. As of level 3, timing becomes key. You will need to practice and learn the levels to complete this game, there are so many bad guys on screen it sometimes gets a bit hard to take.

Graphically, it's also nice on the eyes with well-defined graphics and animation. You really get the feeling that the developers put some thought and love into the game. Remember what I said about the large levels? Well these are wonderful and are very different to each other, they also scroll fairly smooth in all four directions.
The name "Atari" comes from a move in the ancient game of Go, a favorite of founder Nolan Bushnell.

Notes: The scrolltext was a bugger to rip as it used two separate fonts for the two "people" talking to each other. I got there in the end. The menu is a pastiche of the two comics Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones "talking heads" skits - like this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oHQLMLG1KY - MugUK 21/04/2025!
