The Atari Puzzler is back this week and I think this is a good mix of challenge. I hope you brought your best Atari 2600 skills. Oh and for more retro gaming fun, make sure to drop by the Retroist Gaming Section. Great game reviews for various systems are going up there every week and we got big plans for it.
Good luck.

It’s always a pleasure to see Quickclaw from Pitfall II – still my very favorite game for the 2600. I continue to be amazed at the technology they jammed into that particular 2600 cartridge.
