04.19.23 XpressO #2: “Beamrider” for the Atari 2600 (5-Minute Atari 2600 Game Reviews!)

This time, I take a quick look at “Beamrider” by Activision, which was released in 1983 for the Atari 2600. It’s a unique space shooter with a variety of enemies, bonuses & more! It was created by David Rolfe, who was a huge force in the ‘golden years’ of gaming. Will this game blast your socks off? Tune in to find out! This episode, I begin ‘rating’ games by espresso shots: 1 shot means “ugh,” a double shot means “ok…,” a triple shot means “good!” and a quad-espresso, the ultimate, means “fantastic!” Subscribe, Like & Comment if you enjoyed this content.
