Canyon Bomber

(1.7)

1979

Canyon Bomber is a black-and-white 1977 arcade game, developed and published by Atari, Inc. It was written by Howard Delman who previously programmed Super Bug for Atari. Canyon Bomber was rewritten in color and with a different visual style for the Atari VCS and published in 1979. The player and an opponent fly a blimp or biplane over a canyon full of numbered, circular rocks, arranged in layers. The player does not control the flight of vehicles, but only presses a single button to drop a bomb which destroys rocks and gives points. Each rock is labeled with the points given for destroying it. As the number of rocks is reduced, it becomes harder to hit them without missing. The third time a player drops a bomb without hitting a rock, the game is over.

There's really not much too this game and you have very little control over what's happening. Simply drop bombs on the boulders from the various planes you're flying. But since you have no control over the height and speed of your various planes, all you're doing is hitting a single button over and over again to drop bombs in order to hit as many boulders as possible. This game might be slightly more fun with a second person; but I'm not sure how this game could have been fun in the 70s let alone by today's standards!
