AGH Atari 2600 Review: THRESHOLD
by Tigervision
For people who never tire of shooting at things comes yet
another slide-and shoot Galaxian clone, but this
time with a twist. Although this invasion contest is like all
the others in that the opposition consists of a succession of
different types of aliens, each attacking with a specific strategy,
the player's ship can be moved vertically within the lower third
of the playfield, as well as the standard sideways movement. And
while the ability to move vertically may not sound like a gaming
revolution, it does add a dose of strategy that's absent
from Galaxian and its multitude of clones.
Threshold originally appeared as an Apple II disk
from Sierra On-Line, and the company produced the port for the
Atari 2600 version appearing under the Tigervision banner. The
result is a cartridge that plays very much like the computer game
original.
