Robert Vieira created sound and music for several Atari 2600 games in 1983 and 1984. The site lists three 1984 releases he worked on, all conversions of arcade games or a film.
Millipede: the Centipede sequel, programmed by Dave Staugas, with sound by Vieira and Andrew Fuchs.
Crystal Castles: Peter C. Niday’s version of the arcade maze, with Bentley Bear collecting gems in tilted castles.
Gremlins: based on the 1984 film and programmed by Scott Smith. You catch Mogwai, then shoot the Gremlins that hatch.
He also wrote the music for Sorcerer’s Apprentice (1983), the Fantasia game. Listen for his work in the games below, all playable in your browser.
Millipede is the Atari 2600 version of Atari’s 1982 arcade sequel to Centipede. It was released in 1984, programmed by Dave Staugas with graphics by Jerome Domurat. As in Centipede, you shoot at a segmented bug winding down through a field of mushrooms, but here it has far more company: spiders, bees, beetles, earwigs, inchworms, mosquitoes and dragonflies, plus DDT bombs you can set off. You can play it here in your browser.
Gremlins is Atari’s 1984 Atari 2600 game based on the film of the same year. As Billy, you first try to catch hungry Mogwai before they reach the hamburgers, and when that fails you have to shoot the Gremlins that hatch. It borrows openly from Kaboom! and Space Invaders, but switching between catching and shooting keeps it lively. You can play it here in your browser.
Crystal Castles is Atari’s 1984 home version of its own 1983 arcade maze game. You guide Bentley Bear through castles drawn at an angle, so the mazes look three-dimensional, and you gather every gem before the monsters get to them. The 2600 cartridge was programmed by Peter C. Niday, with graphics by Michael Kosaka and sound by Robert Vieira. Getting that tilted, layered look onto a console this simple was a real achievement, and it still plays quickly and smoothly.
