Barnstorming is an Atari 2600 video game designed by Steve Cartwright and published by Activision in 1982.Шаблон:Sfn It was the first game designed by Cartwright. The idea for Barnstorming came to him as he watched a biplane one day while driving home from work.[1]
Gameplay
The player must pilot a biplane through a series of barns in the shortest time possible while dodging windmills, weather vanes, and geese. Bumping into anything slows down the plane for a couple of seconds, increasing the overall time.
There are four levels of play determined by the game select switch. Game 1 is Hedge Hopper (10 barns), game 2 is Crop Duster (15 barns), game 3 is Stunt Pilot (15 barns), and game 4 is Flying Ace (25 barns). In the first three games, the course layout of barns, windmills, and even geese do not change, making it easy to memorize the layout. Game 4 is the only game with a random course.
Originally, a player with a time or better of 33.3 seconds on game 1, 51.0 seconds on game 2, or 54.0 seconds on game 3 could send Activision a picture of their screen and receive membership in the Activision Flying Aces[2] and a Flying Aces patch.
Reception
Barnstorming was released in March 1982.Шаблон:Sfn Richard A. Edwards reviewed Barnstorming in The Space Gamer, commenting that "This is a game no Atari VCS owner should be without. Buy it."Шаблон:Sfn
From retrospective reviews, Scott Alan Marriott of AllGame noted the games impressive visuals but that the game got dull on repeated playthroughs as the game noting that "all of the levels are structured the same way [...] Once you complete your objective, you can either have another go at it or see how fast the cartridge flies under chairs."Шаблон:Sfn
