Crackpots - Atari 2600 Retro Replay
5The old classic Crackpots on the Atari 2600 was loads of fun back in the day as simple as it was.. It does get a little hectic though further on into the game as you try to figure out the patterns of the bugs trying to get into your windows.
A little about the game:
Crackpots is an Atari 2600 game designed by Dan Kitchen and published by Activision in 1983. It was Kitchen's first game for Activision; he later did a number of ports to the 2600, including the arcade games Kung Fu Master and Double Dragon.
In Crackpots, the player controls Potsy, a gardener. Potsy's Brooklyn building is being overrun by bugs trying to climb inside six windows. The player moves Potsy back and forth along the roof to drop pots on the bugs before they can get close enough to enter the windows.
