Please ask in You Know That Show.
Just finished reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and watched the movie. I was born in 1974 so I am very much a Gen Xer. Reading this book brought back lots of childhood memories even if the author failed to include any GIRL 80's nostalgia (Francine Pascal anyone?) Anyway, when I was a girl in 1983-85 we had the Atari 2600 Video Game System and we had a few games including Pac-Man but there was another game I can't remember the name of but I would know the screen shot if I saw it. I haven't thought about this game in probably 40 years! It was played with the paddles not the joystick and up to four players could play because the object was to destroy everyone else's "fort" that had a flag inside. Little dots flew around the screen that you deflected with your paddle and if the walls around your "fort" located in each corner of the screen were penetrated creating holes and your flag was hit-you were out. What was the name of this Atari game? I have already searched lists of Atari games and can't find it anywhere. Such game titles as Flag Capture or Defender are NOT IT. Please help.
