Apple ][ BOLO - is there an Atari 2600 version?

[e1will]

My favorite Apple II game was BOLO, One of my favorite video games from the early 80s was Bolo on the Apple II.

 

It was a cool little game where you drove a little spaceship (or tank, or something) around, shooting at things; your goal was to destroy the six alien bases (represented by large monochrome squares with a dot in the middle of them.) If you succeeded, you would get a congratulatory message "You have destroyed the alien proving grounds. The Dinochrome Brigade salutes you!"

 

Does anyone remember this game?

 

Is there a similar Atari 2600 game?

That's one of my favorites for the Apple ][ as well. I played it a lot back in the mid- to late-80s, along with Sabotage (another great Apple ][ game).

 

I've not seen BOLO on any other platform. Of course, people not familiar with the game often confuse it with the very popular Bolo game for Mac.

 

I wish someone would come out with BOLO for an Atari platform. I think it would be excellent on the A8.

As a Keith Laumer fan, I like to think that Bolo was a tank....

I always thought of it as a tank as well. Looked like one to me.
