About this product

Product Information

You must protect your fruit orchard at all costs! Spiders are trying to pilfer your oranges, grapes, strawberries and bananas, so shoot them down with your poison-pellet firing cannon.

Move left or right while blasting four types of creatures trying to destroy you: a Master Nest, Stingers, Spy Pods and Green Widows. You'll begin each level with three pieces of fruit in the left corner of the screen. Four waves of insects will appear one after another, all initiated by the Master Nest.

Not only can this creature spawn other enemies, but it's the only one that can steal fruit (by carrying it off-screen). Once you've cleared the first four waves, play will resume with new fruit until you reach bananas, at which point you'll have to fend off unlimited waves.

Players will receive an additional blaster if all three pieces of fruit make it through a wave unscathed, but only four cannons can be stored in reserve at any given time. As with most shooters on the Atari 2600, the difficulty switches allow for either guided or straight pellets. Rack up 40,000 points to become a true Spider Fighter!

Spider fighter, a quick review
If you hate spiders and bugs you'll love blasting the bugs in this game. The action is fast and the sound effects are great and the fruit looks like fruit. A great fun game from Activision. I rate this 10 out if 10

Great Activision game where spiders attack and you must protect your garden! The graphics are awesome and the gameplay is compelling. Get this game and you will be amazed how ahead of its time this game was for the Atari 2600!

Spider Fighter - intense, smooth space invader type shooter
Spider Fighter is Space Invader type game, but just much better; more action, more bullets; intense action. Very impressive for such an early system as the Atari 2600!

Spider Fighter is a fast and excellent shoot 'em up for the Atari 2600
Spider Fighter is one of the very best shoot 'em ups on the 2600. Currently, its largely over looked. The genius is in the speed of the gameplay, no flicker, and very little (if any) slow down. I consider Spider Fighter is to the 2600 what Recca is to the NES/Famicom.
