Look: 8/10

Definitely a unique look to this. The UI and font are great, and like I've mentioned in a couple reviews, as I'm getting into the mid-80s (this is 85), I can feel the graphics getting closer and closer to the mid-80s console look that I love. Atari 8-bit is feeling more and more dated in terms of gameplay, but holding up surprisingly well into the mid-80s in terms of look. I also like the death frown and explosion animation ha.

Sound: 6/10 As much as I like the Atari crunch, a) it's losing its novelty substantially by 1985 heh, and b) too many annoying beeps and boops, not enough playful cutesy or sentimental dramatic actual music that I know was possible and quite common for arcade and console games at this time.

Play: 6/10 As much fun as I had at first, the Atari 8-bit is just too slow and clunky to hold up as well in 1985. Excited to move on to the next generation of consoles coming up here.

Feel: 7/10 Cute concept, cool look, but showing the Atari 8-bit's age for 1985. Mind you, the consoles were just catching up to "8-bit," but there's just something dated about the gameplay of microcomputers at this time. PC gaming will make its comeback soon in the chronology project, though, I know!

Attachment: 6/10 Doubt I will be returning to this, even though it is a decent Atari 8-bit platforming-esque action game!
