Dolphin (video Game)
''Dolphin'' is a side-scrolling video game created by Matthew Hubbard for the Atari 2600 and released by Activision in 1983. ''Dolphin'' requires the player to use audio cues in order to survive. Gameplay The player controls a dolphin attempting to flee from a giant squid. It must avoid colliding with packs of seahorses while navigating both forward- and backward-moving currents (indicated by arrows pointed with or against the dolphin's direction, respectively) that accelerate or decelerate its speed. Occasionally, a seagull appears above the water's surface which, if touched, permits the player a short period of invincibility. During this time, the dolphin is able to touch the squid and drive it away. The dolphin's sonar sounds to indicate how to avoid seahorses: a high pitch indicates an opening near the water's surface, and a lower resonance indicates a seafloor passage. Development ''Dolphin'' was designed by Matthew Hubbard. Hubbard started in the video game industry w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
