About this game

Yar's Revenge Enhanced is a remake of the original Yar's Revenge for the Atari 50 collection, adding a new coat of pain to the classic Atari 2600 shooter. Players can switch to the old-style presentation and gameplay at the touch of a button.

Yars' Revenge is a video game released for the Atari 2600 in 1982. It was created by Howard Scott Warshaw and was Atari's best-selling original title for the 2600.

The Yars are a community of humanoid houseflies that reside peacefully in the Razak solar system -- until the Qotile destroyed one of its colonized planets. You must help the Yars avenge the destroyed colony and defeat the Qotile. You fly a Yar scout over the shielded base of the Qotile, which you must chip away at by either firing energy blasts or by simply eating away at the shield. Once you have cleared an open path, activate the Zorlon Cannon and use it to blast the Qotile base to oblivion. But watch out for its destroyer missiles, which seek after your Yar scout in order to destroy him. You can hide out in the rainbow-colored Neutral Zone to be safe from the missiles. However, it cannot protect you from the occasional Swirls that the Qotile base launches at you, so dodge them quickly.
