Feature List

Part of the "ODtari" series — along with UFO and Handy Pick Hank, recreating Odyssey2 games in Atari's image!

This is a tongue-in-cheek game about the old Magnavox Odyssey2 character K.C. who finds himself trapped in an Atari 2600!

K.C.'s Crazy Nightmare! — By John A. Reder, 2009

Story: K.C. has found himself trapped in an Atari 2600 system along with some enslaved O2 zombies! The Atari system maze is deadly — he cannot touch the maze walls. If he does, his O2 code will mix with the 2600 code and destroy him!

Objective: Increase your score! Gather bullets (white dots) to shoot the O2 zombies for 10 points! Gather hidden vitamin tablets (red dash) for slight protection against O2 zombies — 1 point each! O2 zombies and maze walls may kill you instantly if touched (vitamins may help you brush by them sometimes — but don't count on it). O2 zombies steal bullets from your inventory and points from vitamin tablets if they reach them first! You can carry a maximum of 6 bullets at any time. O2 zombies return to the Graveyard (center of the maze) when hit by a bullet — they won't hurt you while blue after returning.

Note the excessive use of exclamation points!!! After all, this is about an Odyssey2 character!!! :)
