Here is a video from Sharopolis that looks at games that pushed the Atari 8-bit computers (400, 800, 1200, XL, XE, XEGS) to their limits. Watch and enjoy...

~~Dropone~~ Dropzone by Archer Maclean was a superb game on the Ataris. OK - it was a defender clone but it was rock solid - even more so than the original arcade game some could argue - and it was blindingly.....blindingly fast and smooth.

Cool. Is that game available for download or purchase?

No idea.

I first played the NES port and it was astounding too - looks even better than the Atari orginal.

I was able to find a binary. The game was released on disk only.

Yep, no worries.
