Earth is being invaded by the evil K'caj clan from the Yenrut galaxy. You are Galactic Commander Frank Drexor. The United States Space Guard has commissioned you with the task of defending the most important sector of the galaxy from the invaders. K'caj technology is much more advanced than the technology of Earth. Some of the ships have tractor beams. Others are equipped with subspace energy disruptors. These disruptors create energy barriers that will actually cause the shots from your cannons to reflect back at you! If your mission is a failure, the K'caj will gain control of this vital sector of space, allowing them to maneuver their troops and equipment much more efficiently and gain a larger foothold in the battle for the planet. This would certainly spell disaster for the citizens of Earth. Their fate is in your hands!\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBackfire\u003c\/em\u003e is a homebrew game for the Atari 2600 written by Chad Lare. In \u003cem\u003eBackfire\u003c\/em\u003e you have two guns, one on the top of the screen and one on the bottom. To control the gun on the top of the screen, press up, to switch to the other gun, press down. Once you are controlling a gun, you can move horizontally and shoot. If you have a clear shot all the way across the screen, you can accidentally blow up your own gun. Also if you shoot one of the barriers, your shot is reflected back at you and you have to get out of the way (hence the name \u003cem\u003eBackfire\u003c\/em\u003e). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe label design created by Earl Green for \u003cem\u003eBackfire\u003c\/em\u003e was chosen through the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/atariage.com\/features\/contests\/Backfire\/index.php\"\u003eBackfire Label Contest\u003c\/a\u003e. Dale Crum then created a full-color 12-page manual to accompany the game, in the same style as manuals that accompanied Atari's picture-label games. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\" border=\"0\" bordercolor=\"#333333\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003eChad Lare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eNumber of Players\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eController\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003eJoystick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap height=\"21\" bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eCartridge Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003e4K\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap height=\"21\" bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eLabel Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003eEarl Green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr bordercolor=\"#CCCCCC\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap height=\"21\" bgcolor=\"#F0F1F1\"\u003eManual Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"main\" nowrap\u003eDale Crum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"AtariAge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41038780039286,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/2428\/1718\/files\/2600_Backfire_CartOnly_Primary.jpg?v=1731327521"}],"url":"https:\/\/store.atariage.com\/collections\/chad-lare.oembed","provider":"AtariAge Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
