Up, Up And Away

The Atari has attracted some odd arcade scenarios in its time. The perils of ballooning presented here include things that Richard Branson never dreamed of, including rock-hurling punks and pigeons with loose bowels.

You have to float along, avoiding the hazards and picking up fuel or you'll soon be forced to jettison sandbags to stay aloft. Things get more difficult as the lightning begins to flash and you have to hold back to dodge the thunderbolts.

An interesting different game that can prove strangely addictive!
