Capture the Flag is Paul Edelstein's quasi-sequel to Way Out, this time around featuring split-screen competitive gameplay, possibly the first ever implementation of first-person "strafing" (albeit not quite in the form we know it today) and an early soundtrack from George "The Fat Man" Sanger, of late '90s CD-ROM game fame.

Sorry about the flicker! A side-effect of recording a 50Hz system at 30fps! Said flicker is still noticeable on a 50Hz display, but nowhere near as much as here.

Atari A to Z is a weekly series that gradually works its way through the Atari 8-bit's catalogue of games, one letter at a time. Once we get to Z, we go back to A and start all over again!

New episodes on Tuesdays.
