Z-Tack


Z-Tack is a 1983 space-themed shoot 'em up developed and published by Bomb for the Atari 2600. It was produced by Bomb, a video game label from developer Onbase Co. based out of Asia. It received generally positive reviews from critics for its gameplay but also referring to it as a "cheap hack" or "clone" of Atlantis.

Gameplay

The player is presented with an alien spacecraft, which is tasked with reducing a city-scape to ruins before proceeding to the next level. The game can be played in both single-player and two-player mode.

Reception

In 1983, TV Gamer magazine described it as "probably the second-best video game to come from this new company, BOMB, the best being Assault" and as "ot a world-beating game but well worth having a look". Videogaming Illustrated gave it good marks for gameplay but marked it down for lack-lustre graphics. German magazine TeleMatch gave it 3/6 overall.
