This is one that kind of
came out of nowhere. It was under many different Atari 2600 "rumored
games" lists before it appeared at Classic Gaming Expo, at which time it
was finally confirmed to exist. Bob Smith, a former iMagic progammer, who
owns this particular prototype, showed up at the Classic Gaming Expo 200
with this game, complete with box and cart label. Just the simple fact
that both the box and label exist would point to the fact that this game
is either complete or nearly complete, however, after playing the game, I
don't know if this is the truth or not. |

The controls for this game
are simple enough. Hold UP and your balloon rises, hold
DOWN and you let gas out of your balloon to fall - the
pink bar on the top of the status bar indicates how much
hot air is in your balloon. However, other than that, I
cannot figure out what in the hell to do in this
game! All I've been able to do is float around in the sky
with absolutely no objective at all - at least as far as I
can tell. Please email me if you know what to do in this
game. |

It's really quite hard to
evaluate a game when you don't know how to play it. While
this game seems to be complete as I stated above, until an
instruction manual is found for this one, we're not gonna
know what the hell to do with it, unless some inspired
person on the internet takes the time to figure out what
to do here, this is nothing more than an impressively
complete prototype with box and label...
