I love this game!!! I was terrific good on it, practicing with friends all days long on 80's!! I miss that time! Much better than the actual games..nostalgy back..lol
this must be a diiferent version bc on my atari 65 xe on every frikin bridge, there was a tank shooting cans... nearly impossible... there was like 51 bridges or something.. right?
my first video game i remember playing as a child prolly 3 or 4 years old was this. it programmed me from early on to be a scrolling shooter fanatic. just think back them these games were programmed by only 1 person usually as was the case with river raid. this was classic game of epic importance (with space invaders) to the entire genre. its roots....
Cool!!! I haved a Atari 3000, and i did play this and others games. In present days i can play online cause i dont have more the drive game. Nice video. Hug***
Pleeeeeeeeeeeease hoy can you say that! they sure were fun to play when you were a kid because there was nothing else, but kids now a days look at these games and they see something from the dark ages. what a retarded comment.
When i was 7 i played this game so far and so good as this guy.Its not very impressive.I never finnished it since i bought a SMS and never to look at the atari again.I threw it away in my puberty since then i thought games where for nerds and i wass into drinking,(pot)smoking,techno(party's)but after that i bought a pc and came back to gaming.
This is the first time i see this game since then but i was as good as this guy at it really.
La era de los videojuegos esta avanzada en un nivel nunca imaginado en estos tiempos cuando inventaron estos juegos pero sin duda alguna que estos clasicos nunca se olvida y son los mejores yo tambien poseo un 2600 de ATARI
lol in germany it was the first game what was seized reason : "too many violence and u are a icecold killer" lol -.-' but now it's away from the index good it's once of the best games i ever played!!
river raid has no end, I passed over 160 bridges and they just repeated old levels with much more opponents (game became just sick, but still the biggest problem was lack of oil)
I remember playing this and loving it. now that i want to play atari games again it is brocken!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
lol same here! he got it for me on my 8th birthday! I wanted Pitfall but the guy at the store recommended this game. It was the best atari game until Pitfall II came out. God me and my dad used to play this for hours. My friends used to sleep over and play it for hours. Yeah, it made me a rpetty cool friend to have for a little while lol.
This was one of my favorites, too, and I played it until my hand was falling off -- kind of sad how video games nowadays leave no room for imagination
@Maplekitty I agree I remember spending Hours on end Just trying my damndest to beat the game and couldent the furthest i gotten was level 22 and there are 30 levels to it.
MAN Talk about memory lane watchin this vid, this game first came out in 1982 and I dident play it till 1986 when i was 6 years old =P
XBOREDXX You're a dumbass. I played this game on the Atari 2600 back in 1982 when it first came out. I thought the guy in the video was playing it on a (modern day) emulator.
I am playing on an emulator. Though i dont think it supports online! If there is an atari emulator that supports online you should be able to find it on google if you search "atari emulator kaillera"
This game is banned in German. Really.

@teakz89 This game is a masterpiece, easily the best on the 2600.
However, E.T. sucking is a myth. It's pretty impressive compared to
many of the other 2600 games. The whole desert story is the sole
reason people say it sucks so much.

There really was no "finish" to the game. It would automatically end when you scored 1,000,000 points. That video zsyed mentions proves it.
