Balloon Trip (Atari VCS)

by “bluswimmer”

Because you wear a funny hat when you flap your arms you can fly. You love green balloons so you set out to collect a bunch. You must avoid what look like low flying satellites or high flying sea mines. Whatever they are, they kill. Fly guy might go high but he's no tough guy. A satellite, or nasty fish bite, and it's sweet dreams fella, and goodnight.

 

Tapping fire flaps your arms and you can also drift left and right. You gain points for flying and collecting balloons which fill a meter. But even after scoring over a thousand points I never filled it up to see what happens. At 200 points the game gets faster. You can also start at a later level, 0-easy to 4-hard (faster, more killing stuff).
 

This is a fabulous game that would be great for any high score competition.
