Atlantis

,

  • Atlantis (Atari 2600)
    Developer: Imagic
    Released: 1982
    Players: 2 (simultaneous co-op)

  • Description - In Atlantis, players defend the last city of Atlantis from waves of Gorgon invaders, controlling defense cannons on the surface. The screen is split between ground and aerial threats, and players must shoot down enemy ships before they destroy the city's structures.

  • Co-op Experience - Two players work together simultaneously—one controlling the left cannon, the other the right—to protect the city from destruction. There's no direct player interaction so co-op is very limited.

  • Co-op Rating - 👎

Breakout

,

  • Breakout (Atari 2600)
    Release Date: 1978
    Players: 1-2 (simultaneous)

  • Description:
    Breakout is a classic arcade game where players use a paddle to bounce a ball and break bricks at the top of the screen. The goal is to clear all the bricks without letting the ball fall off the screen. This Atari 2600 version faithfully brings the addictive gameplay home.

  • Co-op Experience - Each player controls their own paddle. You must work together to break the bricks and prevent the ball from falling. No different from single player.
