Barnstorming (Atari 2600 game) easy mode speedrun

How could you not like a game about flying through everybody's barns?

All the barns and windmills and even birds are always arranged the same way (assuming you keep playing the same difficulty level).

Played on Activision Anthology for Game Boy Advance

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

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

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.
