A great top down shooter, hours of enjoyment!!

User Rating: 8.8 | River Raid 2600
By Warfust | Review Date:
This is a classic old schoot top down shooter, I have never found an end to the game and don't really expect to.

The idea is simple, fly down the river blowing up enemies and making sure you have enough fuel while avoiding crashing into the riverbanks, islands and other objects.

It's not an easy game to master, but it's so much fun that you hardly notice the difficulty.

I played this game alot when I was much younger (I was in the hospital over christmas, and it was the only good game they had), and look forward to owning it again. I'm sure my kids will love it as much as I did.
