Flag Capture (Atari 2600, 1978)

Flag Capture is Minesweeper before Minesweeper except everybody hated it. You have a grid of squares and have to find a flag behind them without triggering a bomb, you do this by using the numerical and directional cues the game occasionally gives you. It was notable to reviewers at the time for having bad graphics and terrible sound which, hah, I mean okay I guess they had to draw the line somewhere. Reviewers back then must have had a hard time padding out what they had to say about these games too, solidarity with them from 40 years in the future.

TERRIBLE

Lawful Availability: Not hard to find. About 7 bucks loose and 13 bucks with the box. Chaotic Availability: Should be available in any complete Atari 2600 ROM set.
