Falldown (A2600 Game)

Falldown is a relatively simple game in which the player controls a ball which falls indefinitely to the right. You control the ball by moving the joy stick up and down. You lose when the walls push your ball all the way to the left side of the screen. There is no way to win, you are just trying to get the high score. When you lose you move the joystick to the right to start the game over.

Dance Dance Retrolution (A2600 Game)

This Atari version of Dance Dance Revolution, entitled Dance Dance Retrolution, is played to the tune of your 80’s favorite, “Mr. Roboto”. As the blocks scroll up the screen in sync with the music, you and your opponent are challenged to match that synchronization with key presses. The more accurate you are, the higher your score goes, but be watching your dance meter, because if you and your competitor can’t keep it up, it’s game over.
