I remember playing this game back in the day and never played it again. I would play this game for hours and got very good at it. So much so that after a long battles all that was sent down was the small nucular craft that would cause a blinding flash on the screan when distroyed. That was the last thing I remembered when I came to with a massive headach. I have not played it since and with good reason. Also I proved that I was good enough to defend Atlantis. Plato would be proud.

@BADBOYCH -It's nice to be good at a game that gets hard fast. It's funny how everybody has different opionions about games. Never liked this or Cosmic Arc,think I threw away not sure.  This to me was boring and hard,and C.A. was just plain hard to be great at. This game was like you had little control with the stationary bases,and it just felt like you were just arbitrarily firing away with no purpose. Yet,I liked horizontal firing games like Defender,Chopper Command,and Sea Quest ect.

@Ramel34 As I understand it Atlantis 2 was a special version of Atlantis used in a contest. Basically it was the same game only programmed to be harder and faster. It's one of the rarest Atari2600 games (since it was only used for that tournament) so it goes for a lot of money even though it's only a slightly modified version of the original. If you want to play it though it's Available on the Activision Anthology which is pretty cheap these days.
