Ikari Warriors (1986)

Atari 2600

1986MicronicsSNKTopTradewest

SNK’s 1986 Commando-style arcade run-and-gun, converted by Atari Corporation for the 2600 and 7800 in 1990 — among the last commercial games of those systems’ original runs.

Facts

  • North American arcade published by Tradewest. Rotary joysticks and two-player co-op distinguished the arcade; do not assume those controls on the 2600.
  • Originally intended as a licensed Rambo: First Blood Part II game; SNK could not acquire the rights at first.
