River Raid was, alongside Missile Command and Enduro, one of the games I played the most on my Atari 2600. The thrill of trying to go just a little ahead and get that another bridge and the frustration of dying when going through some of the narrower paths just kept me going back and replay the game many, many times….
As an Atari owner living in Brazil, the Intellivision was never part of my childhood and I never played one back then.
