Developer: Scott Smith

Scott Smith programmed Gremlins, Atari’s 1984 Atari 2600 game based on the film of the same year, with graphics by Mimi Nyden and sound by Robert Vieira. As Billy, you catch falling Mogwai before they reach the hamburgers, then shoot the Gremlins that hatch once too many get through. Atari showed it at the 1984 Consumer Electronics Show, but its reorganisation that year meant only limited distribution. Critics called it derivative of Kaboom! and Space Invaders, but switching between the two phases keeps it lively.
