lets take a trip in the way back machine to a time  to  1982 , checking out the new game called space jockey. this game is side scrolling madness that took place on your atari 2600 and keeped you at it with 16 variations of shooting enemys that came from the right side of the screen,  you are a UFO shaped saucer attacking endless enemies, you have tanks, ballons, airplanes, and helicopters that will shoot you right out of the sky.  
Graphically the game looks good for the 2600, the ground is a lively green  thats against a blue and black sky line the enemies are well colored but i think they could have made your character a little more colorful instead of just a white saucer. the sound is what you expect it to be with a few pew pews! 
In the end  if you want a fun game for an aging system check out space jockey  because its a fun game and it will make you realize how far side scrolling shooters have come
