River Raid for Windows 8

River Raid is a remake of the classic Atari title with the same name that is surely remembered by gamers who got their hands on one of the Atari consoles released back in the '80s.

The river is divided into various sections, each with a different configuration than the previous one and ending with a bridge that you'll have to destroy in order to advance.

The goal of the game is to fly your plane over the river and destroy all the enemy's helicopters, tanks, jets, and fuel depots you stumble upon while making sure you don't crash into them.

Another aspect you'll need to consider is the ever changing landscape that features lots of small islands, bays, and narrow channels that can be used by your enemies to lure you into a trap and destroy your plane.

While destroying the enemy fuel depots can bring you more points for your score, you will also need to refuel your airplane from time to time in order to avoid crashing into the river.

River Raid is one of the most popular titles from the Atari 2600 era and still has its fans even in present days. The game still manages to bring a challenge even to experienced players who know the basic mechanics and how they should approach various zones of the river.

For new players that are fond of retro arcade games, River Raid will surely be one title that they will grow to love with every enemy killed on the river.
