Warlords is an arcade game released by Atari, Inc. in 1980. The game resembles a combination of Breakout and Quadrapong (an early Atari arcade game) in the sense that not only can up to 4 players play the game at the same time, but also the "forts" in the four corners of the screen are brick walls that could be broken with a flaming ball. Warlords uses spinner controllers for player control, and came in both an upright 2 player version and a 4 player cocktail version. The upright version uses a black and white monitor, and reflects the game image onto a mirror, with a backdrop of castles, giving the game a 3D feel. The upright version only supports up to two simultaneous players, which move through the levels as a team. The cocktail version is in color, and supports 1-4 players. 3-4 player games are free-for-all's where the game ends as soon as one player wins. 1-2 player games play identical to the upright version.

This would be a lot of fun 2+ player! Even as a single player game, it's surprisingly fun for essentially being a block breaking game with extra factors (I do like how you can harness the fire and "aim" to an extent with the Fire button). I've never been any good at block breaking games, but it would be fun …

This would be a lot of fun 2+ player! Even as a single player game, it's surprisingly fun for essentially being a block breaking game with extra factors (I do like how you can harness the fire and "aim" to an extent with the Fire button). I've never been any good at block breaking games, but it would be fun with similarly struggling humans. As it is, against computers, it would be nice to have difficulty level settings.
