About this product

Product Information

The player controls a stealthy sub sneaking into top-secret Russian territory, trying to avoid enemy mines through a series of twisty channels, and occasionally needs to replenish the air supply by running through tanks marked "air." Avoid contact with <I>everything</I> that doesn't say "air," in fact. If it looks vaguely familiar, and sounds vaguely familiar, it's no coincidence: Harbor Escape is a very thinly-disguised, only-slightly-reprogrammed version of Activision's Atari VCS bestseller River Raid. If anything, the changes made to the graphics to try to make Harbor Escape look like a new game have done nothing to help the game play, and actually make the game look ugly and amateurish. This is one to be avoided, if only out of respect for the masterpiece that is River Raid.

River Raid ripoff, but that is OK with me!
You know, of all Panda games, which, for the most part were slightly altered knock-offs of mainstream 2600 hits from various publishers - this one is my favorite. Honestly, a 2600 game that I always go back to. A huge fan of River Raid, this one just gives me more of the same - and I mean that in a good way. The scrolling is super smooth, as are the sprites. The scenery could be a bit more than black blocks, for certain, but that doesn't inhibit play. All in all, a top notch 2600 shooter. If you like River Raid, then you will like this one.
