Description

ATARI PRESENTS is a series of titles geared toward the preservation of cult classics, forgotten favorites, and titles that would otherwise be lost to time. In the spirit of that, each ATARI PRESENTS title is presented unchanged from its original version other than providing the means to play them on modern hardware. Even the store description below is the very same language used to describe the title at the time of its release. Please enjoy!

Zapper is an action-packed and addictive game that starts with the “avoid-em-up” game play mechanics of Blitz Games’ own Frogger 2: Swampy’s Revenge, and then takes the action to a whole new level. In this action-adventure game, Zapper (a cricket) hops his way through six interactive worlds in a quest to find his brother, held captive by the evil magpie queen. Dangerous traps and even more dangerous enemies await Zapper. It will take fast-footed skill and timing to conquer all the worlds and survive the final showdown with the magpie queen.

GAME FEATURES:

- Classic “avoid-em-up” game play from the makers of Frogger 2: Swampy’s Revenge: Blitz Games. 

- Unique enemies and traps to thwart Zapper on his quest. 

- Intuitive control system with increasingly complex levels makes Zapper a pick-up-and-play treat for both novice and seasoned gamers.

Played on Xbox as a kid

I played this on Xbox when I was a kid. Had no clue it has a PC version. I remember it being pretty okay and reminiscent of frogger's adventure.

I actually have the CD to this game IRL

Zapper is indeed a videogame - one of the videogames of all time. I remember pouring hours into this game and beating it. I played that game so much as a 7-year-old that I remember each levels' opening stages almost 19 years (as of writing this review) later. I also remember being frustrated with this game and I remember that it was an ok game that once I beat as a kid, I was satisfied to put down and never play again. Now I feel as if God himself is nudging me in the shoulder to try it again, but I really don't feel like it. To tell the truth, I'm actually shocked anybody other than me remembers this game even exists because I remember almost nobody knowing about, let alone playing the game, so seeing it here on GoG is kinda reality-warpy but in a way I'm ok with.

Crazy This Game Is On Here

Ahhh nostalgia... I played the crap out of this game as a kid. The weird deaths and vibes of the game, the music, and the somewhat engaging gameplay (that a young me found quite difficult) led to the satisfying feeling of beating this game. Good game, pretty short. Environments are fun and all different. Boss battle(s?) are mid. Worth a few dollars for sure!
