Radar

Radar is an unlicensed Atari 2600 cartridge sold in Canada by the Zellers department store chain. It is a renamed copy of the Taiwanese company Sancho's shooter, better known on the site as Exocet and also sold as Cruise Missile. The title screen of this copy still shows Sancho's 1982 copyright.

About Atari 2600 Radar

Gameplay

The one-page leaflet that came with the Zellers cartridge, printed in English and French, gives the game a new story: treasure lies on the ocean floor, guarded by gun batteries and radar screens, and your UFO can only claim it once all of them are destroyed. On screen it is the same game as Exocet: you fly over a landscape shooting cannon towers, then dive into an underground tunnel. The leaflet lists one player and a single game. For scoring and the full rules, see the Exocet page.

One game, many labels

Zellers sold several renamed Taiwanese copies of 2600 games, such as Ocean City Defender, a copy of Atlantis. Sancho’s game itself appears on AtariMania as Bandit, Cruise Missile, Exocet, Exoset Missile and Space Eagle, and CCE sold another cartridge called Radar in Brazil.
