Atari Video Cube is a puzzle game released for the Atari 2600, developed and published by Atari in 1982.[1] It is a single-player game, and uses an Atari joystick.[2]
Gameplay
The game utilizes a Pocket Cube, Rubik's Cube, and the Rubik's Revenge, but instead of rotating the sections of the cube, the player runs around, switching out the colors. However, the player cannot run onto a square of the same color that is being switched.[3]
Reception
It received mostly positive scores from critics—said to be much easier than a real Pocket Cube, Rubik's Cube, and the Rubik's Revenge.[citation needed] Ben Langberg of Le Geek said "Atari Video Cube tried to cash in on the Rubik's craze of the 80s. Luckily, it's a great game".[3]
