Help me remember: Atari 2600 Game
 
There was this game I used to play on the Atari 2600 as a kid, but I cannot remember the name of it.

The only thing I really remember about the gameplay is that it was a "slide" based game, where your character slid back and forth on the bottom of the screen. Occasionally a beam would shoot down, and if you got right under the beam you would slowly "beam up" through it.

Damn, how much research went into finding that?

I found it by looking up another Atari 2600 game that I liked, called Demon Attack. I was looking at some images of it, and I saw the cartridge that it came in, which had a silver label, with a rainbow-like strip across it, and a triangle shaped end.

I then remembered that the other game also had a very similarly shaped and designed case. I looked up the company that made Demon Attack, found it was Imagic and that they were known for their oddly shaped Atari cartridges.

So then I found a list of every Atari 2600 game made by Imagic, and looked up some info on each of them, and found Cosmic Ark. :)

Damn. I'd be shit out of luck with old Atari games, mainly because I never had an Atari let alone played one.
