Classic Game Room HD – YARS’ REVENGE for Atari 2600 review
July 31st, 2010 | 
Author: Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of YARS’ REVENGE for the Atari 2600 VCS video game console system! This is the best selling original title on the wood grained classic video game masterpiece and rightly so, revenge has never had it so good. This 2600 cartridge came with an awesome comic book called the Qotile Ultimatum and you played as a crazy insect called a Yar which flies around space and shoots laser beams and stuff. Yar’s Revenge is a true classic retro arcade style old school video game from 1981 that never gets old and hasn’t aged a day. This is priceless video gaming for those of us who grew up with Atari and should be exciting for new gamers today used to the next gen systems. Yars Revenge has incredible gameplay and the footage shows this. It is fun, entertaining and above all terribly addictive. Shoot the Zorlon cannon at the Qotile! CGRHD takes a somewhat more serious look at this cartridge that should be in every Atari collector’s possession. The ultimate space action mutant insect warfare shooter game. This would be really great if they released it again on the PS3 or Xbox Live Arcade XBLA consoles with updated 2D graphics (not 3D). I still think Yars’ Revenge would make a great movie or anime. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The reviews on the HD series …

I guess Atari came up with the name Yar from a guy that worked at Atari. His name was Ray and Yar is just Ray backwards. I read that somewhere a long time ago.
you are right it was Ray Kassar IIRC he held prominent position in the atari back then so it is possible
check yar’s revenge commercial on youtube for some lulz
I was just watching Explorers ( the movie with river phoenix and ethan hawk 1985) and the part where they go to the drive in theatre the sound fx in the movie at the drive in is Yars Revenge! Check it out on youtube explorers part 6.

semen what to reach the pussy! think about it!
@rAdziu993 The youre a fly named yar on a quest in space one?
Ah yars revenge, the thwack of zorlon on quotile, the rush of dodging the spinney cannon, the sweet taste of cell shield. the insanity of playing at the level with no ion zone, would NOT TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING!
So thats why yar wants revenge, the quotile stole his coleslaw!
this is a really remarkable game. you actually have to have the full version for at no cost. just google ps3bigskydownload and click the very first link. it is a real wonderful and thrilling game. have a good time doing!
its funny that the best and worst atari 2600 games were made by the same guy =]
i’m going to download this on Game Room for 360 (not a rip off to classic game room at all (sarcasm)). its $3 dollars on there and i think it’ll be worth it
I love this game what a classic:)
Yar is a pirate word!!
Well, they haven’t made a remake (as far as I know) but xbox’s new Game Room lets you create your own arcade. So far Atari Intelivision Konami and soon to appear Activision are all signed up and guess what game I bought first… :) THATS RIGHT ET no joking XD Of course I got Yars Revenge. This game is awesome and I will have my kids play these classics when the time comes. Great review \m/ do_ob \m/
Wicked sound effects…..tizao tizao!
MGS4 comes with a comic book
WOW.. i just got 4200 ms points & free xbox live ! :) ..you can get them aswell from …
Freecod [ . ] n37

Chek it out!!
They included a comic book to distract you from how lame this game was….
I was 11 years old when this came out, and it bored the hell out of me, then….
Dude, shoot the damn swirl! Use the cannon on the swirl! That’s how you get the big points, and access the hidden Easter Egg. Doesn’t everybody know this? Best game ever made for the Atari VCS. I think any updated version of Yars’ Revenge would have to keep the same retro graphics. This game doesn’t really need to change anything, in my view.
ATARI FORCE ROCKED! The girls were cute in those uniforms!
This is probably my favourite Atari 2600 game, followed by Pitfall.
yeah i remember getting earth world and reading the comic till i found all the secrets
This game has probably the best 2600 explosion ever created.
