It’s a satisfyingly addicting two-player Atari game. It was inspired by our interest in having loads of fun when we should be studying and of course Harry.

Gravity Sucks (A2600 Game)

Gravity Sucks by Gabriel Halley, Paolo Mentonelli, Stephanie Yang.

In this project, we decided to make a game where two players have to avoid falling objects. Their score increases by twenty each second both players are alive. When one “dies”, the score increases by ten each second. When the last player loses the screen goes blank.

Fallout (A2600 Game)

Player’s objective is to destroy radioactive falling debris in the sky with a limited number of missiles. The objective is to think logically because there is more debris than number of missiles, but when you hit a piece of debris a chain reaction is set off that hits nearby debris. Explosion of debris will be based on size of debris. The population number is the timer. The faster you blow up all of the debris the higher the score.

Eliminator (A2600 Game)

Eliminator by Jennifer Whitlow, Chris Occhipinti, Chris Henderson.

Our design for our game consists of two player sprites that each have missiles. The object of the game is to shoot at the other player without being hit by the center missile or the other player. After a given amount of time the game will move to a new level. In each level, the sprite in the center begins to shoot more missiles more often. When one player gets hit, the other player gets a point and the game goes back to an earlier level in the game.
