  Yars' Revenge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yars' Revenge is a video game developed for the Atari 2600.
In this game, the hero (a Yar) is an insect-like creature who must nibble or shoot through a barrier in order to fire his "Zorlon Cannon" into the breach and destroy the evil Qotile, which exists on the other side of the barrier.
The Yar race and the planet Razak were named after Ray Kassar, CEO of Atari at the time.

 Yars Revenge Review
Yars Revenge, although limited by the technology of the time to the "looping" style of gameplay, managed to somewhat break out of this tradition by introducing a host of ever-changing game elements that the player would have to adapt to.
The Yar must keep moving to avoid being hit by the missile, and he is only safe from it whilst in the Neutral Zone - the glittering path down the middle of the screen.
Yars Revenge also has a few different selectable game variations, some of which involve a faster Swirl and homing missile, but one of particular note is described by the manual as "Ultimate Yars Revenge".

Yars GL follows the tidal wave of success that several retro-game reproductions have enjoyed.
Yars GL lets the player see what the warrior sees with an "over the shoulder" perspective, immersing the player into the 3D environment.
The players can maneuver the Yars through all three dimensions in space and use that to their advantage as they avoid the threat of the missile and break holes into the shield.

But yes, the Yar in Yars' Revenge is actually the good guy in this game, and not the one at the deserving end of a giant fly swatter.
Due to the much-changed graphics and original storyline -- plus I was only about 12 when Yars' Revenge was released -- I NEVER caught the Star Castle similarity until I read about it on the net in the last year.

Yars Revenge is no exception, but it's dynamic elements were more diverse than many other games in which the only change on subsequent rounds would be the speed at which everything moves.

When in the zone, a Yar cannot operate fire commands, and cannot be harmed by Destroyer Missiles.
When a Yar is hit by a Destroyer Missile, a Swirl, or his own Zorlon Cannon, he dies.
This means that if you fly the Yar off the top of the screen, it will appear at the bottom, and vice versa.

 Review: Atari Flashback 2 console
Playing Yars' Revenge on the first Flashback showed just how integral the original droning music was to the game.
Without it, and the dulled rainbow shield stripe across the left of the screen, Yars' became a shadow of its former self.
This plays similarly to the original, except that the Quotile enemy moves from the right of the screen to the center, allowing you to attack it with the cannon from both sides.

 Phosphor Dot Fossils | Atari 2600 Yars' Revenge
You must eat away at the aliens' shield, which not only reduces their defenses, but builds your energy reserve so you can fire your own powerful weapon, which can wipe out the alien, the tracer - or yourself, if you're clumsy enough to be caught in its path.

Where the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man is often a reminder of the 2600's worst properties, Yars' Revenge can be held up as an example of one of the best games that graced that machine.

My Yars' Revenge high score was beaten, but I went back and got the new high score on my first attempt.
Thus, if you lost a lot of HP against the first Horror that Max fights (the one he fights before he has the vision), and then saved your game, it could be impossible to beat the "vision" Horror without a life refill.
It was revealed in one episode that Chancey could play the piano, which was supposed to be a funny surprise since Chancey was always trying to be the "macho" one and piano-playing isn't really a skill you associate with being macho.
