One Switch Gaming Blitz

Canyon Bomber for the Atari VCS. Colourful blocky game with two planes flying overhead.

Atari's Canyon Bomber from 1977 stands up as a great game 34 years on. One-button, accessible and extremely challenging all at once. I've not once cleared a canyon on the MAME nor Atari/DS version on hard, but I will.

Looking at the picture, perhaps you're shaking your head already and muttering "I pity the fool". Don't let that stop you having a try out of the 1978 Atari VCS version on-line, and a pretty good remake at YoYo Games. Newer one-switch games next...
