Excelsior River Raid, Excelsior!
I can still recall the hours I spent with my cousins playing River Raid on the Atari 2600 back in the 80's. In my opinion, it was revolutionary for it's day and provided the player a challenge and a tease. It never got old or frustrating to the point that you didn’t want to consistently beat your high score. It's amazing that a game that came on the market about 25 years ago still has this much playability. If you've never played River Raid in your youth, or if you're new to Atari, I suggest you consider adding this gem to you collection. You won't be disappointed. In fact, you’ll probably be shocked that 2 hours flew by while playing an 8 bit gaming system. Excelsior River Raid!Read full review...
One of the best.
River Raid is always rated as one of the best games for the 2600 and for a good reason - the game is fun, challenging, and doesn't lose it's playability with time. You have to run up the river in your plane, blowing up stuff without running out of gas. Sounds simple, but there's a lot of strategy involved here. If you like 'space shooter' type games then River Raid is probably something you'd really enjoy. As one of the more popular cartridges for the 2600, it can usually be had for a fair price.Read full review...
Fun little nostalgic game
Well it may not have the best graphics in the world compared to modern games you have to remember this game was made in 1982 but for $10 you sure can’t beat it.

River Raid
River Raid, originally conceived for the Atari 2600 and heavily ported, was successfully adapted to the Intellivision platform. A perfect blend of strategy and gamers' skill ensure repeat play and retro fun. A relatively expansive game due to its scarcity in the Intellivision platform is a must add for both gamers and collectors.Read full review...

One of the best for the Atari 2600
As always Activion pretty much delivers. Probably one of the best games for the 2600. Graphics are decent, game play is pretty addictive, and it's very easy to learn to play. Can't think of much I'd change about the game.Read full review...

Great retro game worth every penny!
One of the best Atari 2600 games out there I believe! This product was still sealed in the box for the ultimate collector's item too! If you like retro games and have not played this one, pick it up today!Read full review...
