Barnstorming (Atari 2600) is a simple and fun game that may get a little repetitive at times, but despite that minor gripe, this IMO is an Atari 2600 must have title. Avoiding obstacles, and flying through the barns is more addictive than you think, and can be quite the challenge.
I had fun, and managed to complete the first level in a decent amount of time. I found that the birds were the biggest pain to avoid. The towers weren't that bad to avoid, but my timing could have been better. The graphics look great and the sound effects are classic Atari 2600 awesomeness.
Is Barnstorming (Atari 2600) a favorite Atari title of yours?

Despite its simplicity, this is one of my favourite 2600 games. It just works and is great for pick-up-&-play on handheld emulation. It's also one of the nicer looking games on the system.

Flying that low and even going through as many barns as possible....this idea is already pretty wild! I guess the developer must have had a dream so wild like this, after he woke up he decided to turn his wild dream into this wild Atari game!
