Fall pits of the ever opposing Red and Blue* forces against each other in the ultimate battle to capture the scrolling platform! The first player to fall past the platform grabs it and gets a point. Taking time to gather power-ups can provide some advantage, but taking too long only results in death at the top of the screen. Watch out, because as you progress, the platforms will slowly accelerate!
Fall includes two player and single player modes against a highly effective computer opponent. Game modes include:
- Human versus AI
- Human vs. AI, easy mode
- Human vs AI, pass mode
- Human vs. AI, stealth mode
- One Player
- Man against man
- Man against man, pass the mode
- Human versus human, stealth mode
In pass mode, players do not bounce off each other like in the default mode. In stealth mode, the background alternates colors, making one of the players invisible. Easy mode makes the computer opponent pretty dumb.
Fall Down - This is one of the first homebrew games to support Richard Hutchinson's AtariVox. Fall Down uses AtariVox to save your high score for each game mode, as well as some in-game words ("Red Wins! New High Score!"). When you turn off your Atari 2600 and come back later to play Fall, your high scores will be restored!
