Sabertooth Posted December 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Release Date: February 2023 Retail: TBD Developer(s): Llamasoft Publisher: Atari Official Site Synopsis : "A cascade of words, color, shapes and sound flows around your turret as you desperately fight off swarms of inbound attackers. If enemies penetrate your perimeter you need to zoom into close range combat and beat them back, adjusting to a completely different perspective in the blink of an eye. Welcome to Jeff Minter’s Akka Arrh. Akka Arrh combines the intrigue of an incredibly rare Atari arcade prototype with the unique creative vision of Jeff Minter to deliver a wave shooter that is insanely fun to play. Akka Arrh drips with Minter’s sense of humor, his love of psychedelic color and light, and his ability to flat-out create games that are a joy to play. Akka Arrh is the name of your star cannon, which you control from a fixed turret called the Sentinel. Your mission is to keep enemies from penetrating the Sentinel’s perimeter. If any of them slip through, you zoom into the lower field and take them out. Once cleared, zoom back out and continue defending."

Justin Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 That's incredible! This looks absolutely on point. Would LOVE to see Jag, Lynx and 7800 versions of this 🤯 Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 The more I think about this, the more fascinated I am by it. What a masterstroke on Atari's part. In the past month Atari has given us Swordquest: Airworld, and Akka Arrh reimagined by Jeff Minter - we've always dreamed of these posssibilities. Now they have gone from "what if?" to reality. The Atari XP releases have had a few hiccups, but it's a nice initiative for Atari to release new first-party cartridges on real Atari hardware, and collaborate with game designers new and old. I appreciate Atari's efforts and it feels like they've got a light on over there. Portaro, RickR, Sabertooth and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco1019 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 I dedicated a short segment of tonight's show to this one. I have to say it was well received, especially since it will be released on several platforms. Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
