File:Classic Game Room HD - FIRE FLY for Atari 2600 review

Description
Classic Game Room HD reviews FIRE FLY for the Atari 2600. Think E.T. is the worst Atari game ever made? Guess again. FIREFLY! No, not the awesome Joss Whedon television show that was unfortunately cancelled because it was actually good, Fire Fly is one of the most terrible video games ever created. Fly a Firefly around a screen flanked by static and flowers. Shoot things with awful, terrible, mind bogglingly slow gunfire and "save" fairies (which killed me every time I saved them). This is very little excitement to the gameplay and the progrmming of this game feels incomplete. This CGRHD review of Fire Fly has Firefly gameplay and footage from this Atari 2600 cartridge. It can be played with the Atari 2600 ProLine trackball but that makes it even worse. Although Classic Game Room is not one to needlessly beat up on old games, Fire Fly is an example of what caused the video game market to crash in 1983 and 1984. Too many games were released without real inspiration or creative gameplay to set them apart from the masses. Firefly is a complete mess and should be avoided at all costs. Classic Game Room reviews Atari 2600 games because CGRHD is an Atari 2600 reviewer reviewing old school classic retro video games for the Atari VCS.
