6 – Fatal Run

Atari’s own Fatal Run plays much like the classic arcade game Road Blasters. In fact, given that it came out in 1990 the same time as the Lynx version of Road Blasters, it seems really strange Atari didn’t just use that license instead.

The game is set in a Mad Max like post-apocalyptic world where you are driving from city to city trying to save humanity or some such guff. Your car is armed with guns, missiles and oil slicks that can be used against the other cars on the road. There is a little scanner so you can see what cars are up ahead as well as behind you. By taking out the other cars you earn money and this can be used to repair your car and upgrade it when you get to the city.

What stands out most about this game is that it looks fantastic. Not only does it give a great sense of speed but there is also some attractive scenery in the distance. Another impressive part is though when you get to the city and you get a little scene updating your progress! It’s easy to understand how this under rated gem is the largest commercial Atari 2600 game with a huge ROM size of 32k.
