I was there playing this one... Im so happy I was born in the best time possible, to see all the industry rising from this River Raid level to monster graphic engines today... Its like the industry was growing up just like me... constantly bringing something new to the table...
I used to love this game vanguard,demon attack, it was so many great and new things in the Atari days😂 I even had buck Rogers on the old Coleco Adam computer😅
If you've ever looked into what goes into programming for the 2600, this game is practically miraculous. The original console had just 128 *bytes* of RAM, so Activision extended its capabilities by putting additional RAM in the cartridge. There is still an active homebrew community putting out stuff that would have blown our minds at the time.
Seems like fun! I hope that everyone who wants to play this gets around to emulating it so they can relive their childhood or experience retro games anew!
I remember getting a top score on this game when I was a kid in the 80's, and enclosed in the game was a competition where they said if you sent a picture of you and your score on your tv screen then they would send you a prize. I don't think I ever got anything in the post. Gits.
Ah, that brings up memories, so I tried it on classicreload. Didn't get very far. However the DOS version there has a few extra enemies as tanks on the shore and balloons.
I vaguebly remember this game by a friend of mine when i was on his burstday party 29 years ago, i heard him talking about atari at how he actually did like atari as well,but me back then, i was more into the 16bit age like the snes,i remember how i was mind blown away with supermario allstars on his snes and i wanted a snes sooo bad, Well now as an adult now i am more in on old school atari😁
I find it funny how all overhead SHMUPs can be traced back to this when ya think about it. The commonly considered holder of that claim, Xevious, came after this, I checked
Outra lenda do atari que joguei muito na epoca de garoto com meu pai.E pensar que a activision quem fez este jogo;hoje em dia e so merda de call of duty futurista anual.kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk River Raid continua mito ate os dias de hoje.
This game is hacked to be easier!... The pace of the obstacles is way slower than the original (just see the sound when refueling), while the pace of the player's motion is normal. 'Meaningless longplay'.

While I have to praise the armament of this plane, I have to critique its fuel efficiency.
Thankfully, a lot of kind strangers have left boxes of fuel at sea :P

this is it. The very first video game I played in my life! and that's about 35 years ago...ouch
Gosh, this takes me back. I remember playing this as a kid.
I am 78 and played it as an adult.
Remember breaking 100,000
Loved River Raid on the 2600. Used to play it for hours
When a "4k" game meant something entirely different. And we loved to keep playing it over and over and over again.
One of the best game ever.
I was gonna say the same thing respect from Macedonian in Australia
A great game, it does not get enough love. It helped pave the way for the entire genre.
What genre?

+فيصل الصومالي
this game is so famous in atari 2600
Never Heard od River Raid...? O_o WTF? I see you: came from deep desert that stuck not even in medieval but in anctient time.
At those years in my country (mx) almost nobody knew what was a kilobyte.
In Germany the game is still censored in 2022😂
Seems like fun! I hope that everyone who wants to play this gets around to emulating it so they can relive their childhood or experience retro games anew!
There are a ton of Atari games that need next gen remakes. This is def one of them.
i used to turn the atari on ad off real fast to make glitches happen, once this game ran with nothing but fuel drops.
I played in RIVER RAID on ATARI 65XE in 90's
One of the Best games ❤️👽🐾😈
Kabooom,aventure,moon patrol,Pacman y este juego mis favoritos del Atari 2600...que tiempos...
The best game ever designed; I loved this game as a child.
Entre a ver vídeos de política de AMLO y vi este video juego de atari que me hizo recordar mi niñez..........saludos al jugador que lo subió..

Awesome wideo and game. Great upload. I very like the legendary game River Raid. Thank you for the beautiful work and sharing. Warm greetings
Very addictive game, I remember my cousin had it and each time I "borrow it for a week" it always ended up being "months"!
Why why why clashed the last 6 planes at the end? No end on sight? Rest In Peace Rey Quileza a true friend!

Brings back memories
Eu era fanzao desse jogo ! Era uma magia na época ter um arari poucas pessoas tinham
One night in the 80's after the kids went to bed I stayed up all night playing this game. Hit one million before finally finishing.
Does this game have any ending?
damn fine 2600er stuff! Also brilliant the 800xl version of this
This is the only Atari 2600 game I remember playing.
This was one of Atari best games RR
Truly an amazing run! Great job!!!
Is anyone gonna talk about the fact that you can CONTROL the bullet?
Great!
But why u destroyed the Plane in the end?
Great Channel. Great Game.
Just one time! Why u not wait to get a fully loaded plane why? :) :D We miss the fully loaded sound experience!
Ah, the joys of being able to both crash into the ground, and crash into the high flying jet that itself had no trouble clearing said ground.
My record 110.000, 30 years ago...
Love this game ...but blame this game for the spectacles I have to wear now :)
Your controller seemed to have gotten stuck at the end of the game. It's a shame.
This looks like an Atari must have.
masterpiece

Wait, ACTIVISION?!
Activision was founded by disgruntled Atari staff members. They later started making games for the Atari 2600
+Arche-Type Earth I didn't know a small company by Atari would be the biggest money whore there is today.
TheGreatCatsby Even back then they were big. Activision games for ATARI 2600 were one of the best looking games on the system.
+TheGreatCatsby Ever heard of Pitfall?
+P Ferreira yes
Acaso nunca terminaba???
Juegazo

It's a PAL version.
Muito bom....👏👏👏
Ué quebrou o controle nos 10000 ou arriou? Kkkk
Oh yeah.👍🧐✨🤑
PS4 AND XBOX ONE ...... SHOULD RELEASE THIS GAME WITH TODAYS GRAPHICS MAN WHAT A GAME IT WOULD BE.
Great game, could have done without the yammering of stacey abrams ahead of the video though.
Década de 80
