| 3 | ''Gotcha'' was an early UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame from Creator/{{Atari}} made in 1973, created by Al Acorn and Nolan Bushnell. It was Atari's fourth game after ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}'', ''VideoGame/SpaceRace'' and ''Pong Doubles''. It's a PlayerVersusPlayer game of cat and mouse, played in an ever-changing [[MazeGame maze]]. The Pursuer (represented by a square) [[ScoringPoints scores points]] by touching the Pursued (represented by a plus sign), and the Pursued scores points as time goes by without being touched by the Pursuer. |
