River Raid is an iconic vertically scrolling shooter game originally developed by Activision for the Atari 2600 in 1982 and was later ported to the Intellivision. In this classic game, players pilot a jet over a river, avoiding collisions and enemy fire while managing fuel levels. The gameplay is non-stop action as players navigate the procedurally generated river, which becomes increasingly difficult with obstacles such as bridges, helicopters, tanks, and hot air balloons. The game's innovative design and challenging mechanics made it one of the seminal titles of early video gaming, influencing generations of shooters to come.
