SCSIcide

If you're a fan of fast-paced paddle games like Kaboom!, then you'll love SCSIcide for the Atari 2600. In SCSIcide, you assume the role of a hard drive read head and your mission is to read the color-coded bits of data as they scream past you on ten separate data tracks. Read all of the bits in the correct color order before you suffer a buffer underflow. As you advance to the next platter (level), the data bits scroll by more quickly! Using the paddle controllers, SCSIcide is a dizzying and addictive game. How far can you go?

SCSIcide

Ultra SCSIcide is the highly-anticipated update of the best-selling SCSIcide game for the Atari 2600.

This latest version of the game contains many improvements over the original:

  • Added support for joystick controllers. Controller type is automatically detected when you press the paddle or joystick fire button to start the game.
  • Fixed the flicker that used to occur at the beginning of each level.
  • Changed background and data bit color palette to make bits easier to distinguish.
  • Reduced track size from 10 to 8 bits, for a more appropriate one byte per level.
  • Changed speed increase per level - only two random data bits increase in speed each level.
  • Modified the sound and scoring routines to account for longer gameplay and higher levels.
  • Changed title screen text and added Grand Idea Studio and Pixels Past logos.
  • Added a PAL version of the game for non-US audiences.
  • New graphic design of label and manual.
