Fatal Run

In this post-apocalyptic racing game, you must travel to various towns, delivering medicine while on your way to a missile base that houses a rocket that can save the world. This classic title represents the popularity of post-apocalyptic themes from when it was originally released in 1990, themes that are still prevalent today.

Food Fight

You play as Charley, trying to eat an ice cream cone. But first, you must avoid the chefs who are out to get you: Angelo, Zorba, Oscar, and Jacques. Avoid the food thrown at you by the chefs to get the cone. You can also throw your own food at the chefs to slow them down. This much-loved title has endured as a classic in retro gaming circles and is often praised for its fast-paced and straightforward gameplay.

Ninja Golf

The Ultimate Ninja and sporting challenge, a game of golf and fierce Ninja battle. Swing and kick away at Ninjas, duck-whipping stars, picking up treasure, and shooting for birdies. It's all part of a day's fun. This unconventional combination of ninja combat and golf mechanics has helped Ninja Golf stand out as one of the most unusual games for Atari consoles.
