Text Review
Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of AIR RAIDERS for the Atari 2600 VCS Video Game Console. Air Raiders on the Atari 2600 is an airplane flying game, or old school flight simulator. Dogfighting your way through waves of enemy jet planes is what this game is all about. Shoot down enemies with your machine gun, even though they are supersonic enemy airplanes.
This is a very old fashioned flight game and plays like a first person shooter FPS in a way, you are viewing the screen as through looking through a cockpit of a real life jet fighter. The joystick is your flight stick and the button unleashes a powerful stream of bullets from your Vulcan cannon, so powerful that even Spock would be amazed. This has nothing to do with Air Raiders, the comic book (Which CGR Comics reviewed previously) which is a shame, but Air Raiders has a lot to do with air combat on the Atari 2600. It's true retro gaming at its best, and you can be a retro gamer whilst playing Air Raiders against enemies raiding your airspace. I think this game was also made for Intellivision. Do you like games like F-15 Strike Eagle, Top Gun, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Airwolf, F-19 Stealth Fighter and Air Diver? If so, check out AIR RAIDERS!!! Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series are reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA. videos review reviews show
