Summer of Love: Dragonfire

Here’s an Atari 2600 game I forgot in my toy post on cartridges, and thinking back on Dragonfire, it was probably one of the better early 2600 games. What’s more, the graphics are an interesting mashup of the Pitfall! character and the Adventure castle aesthetic. Dragonfire was created by Imagic (also known for Demon Attack (a Phoenix knock-off) , and it was actually a pretty challenging game thaat kept you hooked. I could spend hours going from dragon lair to dragon lair stealing treasures, and as the walk-through below suggests, even getting killed by fire balls was pretty fun. You can find the ROM here, and just about anything else you want to know—buly for AtariAge.
