Food Fight (Atari 7800 review)

Developer: General Computer Corporation
Publisher: Atari Corporation
Released: 1986

Food Fight is a single-screen action game that was originally released in the Arcade in 1983.

+ Can choose your starting point from Level 1-16, which is excellent for those looking to warp ahead to tougher stages.

+ Scoring system is clever, as while you need food to eliminate foes, each item left at the end of a round earns 100 points.

+ Managing to carry an item of food to the cone affords you the luxury of having it available to throw on the next screen.

+ Manholes are an important part of the gameplay, as they force you to carefully think ahead and plan the best route.

+ Instant replay feature is mind-blowing for the time period, and it even shows you the entire stage you've just completed.

+ Features some fun animations, such as Charley's eyes rolling when hit by food which then proceeds to swarm him!

- Short jingles are fun, but some whimsical music would have complimented the gameplay and enhanced its personality.
