Barnstorming (Atari 2600 game) easy mode speedrun

I'm surprised people liked this game. I only came here because it was one of the worst games I can remember from the 2600.

played this game for hours back in the day. One of the best game back then. Kaboom was a great one too.

I won a T-shirt back in the day for posting a fast time and sending a screen shot into Activision and getting a certificate that said I was in the barnstorming club. Activision had random stuff like that for all their games

Nice. I held the UK record for levels 1, 2 and 3 back in 1983. My best time on level 1 is 32.76 secs.

Wow, that's very very cool! :D

You are a huge amount better than I am then. I never figured out how to get the time lower than just avoiding any crashes. And I've never gotten close to avoiding crashes in any level besides 1.

I seem to remember that the key was not going too low into the barn - you could actually fly into the barn at the roof level, but it was a fine line between flying through the roof and hitting the pesky weather vane on the front of it.

3 things about activision

1 all skies in activison have the rainbow look

2 way better games/looks

3 the games are simple like free way its like frogger so u can only go up down

4 seem better than atari like more graphics or something

I didn't know you can go through the barns.

I just learned that my time was not the fastest possible (even though I missed all the birds).
