Which VCS games involve radiation?

[Keatah]

Which VCS games involve radiation? I know of these right off hand:

 

Meltdown

Reactor

China Syndrome

 

..but surely there are more..

 

Missile Command is a stretch, because you don't do anything with the radiation, it's only part of the story.

 

[Thomas Jentzsch]

In Fatal Run, radiation is also part of the story. Same for Miner 2049er, Thunderground, Saboteur/The A-Team, Save The Whales, Thrust and Duck Attack.

[Mr SQL]

Space Shuttle, Space Attack, Star Raiders, Space Invaders... any space games or games with space sequences like Buck Rogers and Zaxxon where parts of the game are in space

[+frankodragon]

Communist Mutants From Space involves irradiated vodka.

[Thomas Jentzsch]

Are we talking about nuclear radiation only? Else almost every game comes to mind, there is radiation everywhere.

 

BTW: How about Superman (X-Ray vision)?

E.T. using wireless communication to phone home, is a form of radiation.

[Keatah]

Nuclear radiation. EMF radiation like from CRT, wi-fi, phones, microwaves, doesn't count.

Wasn't it radiation that turned people into mutant alligators in Alligator People?

The Planet of the Apes was created by nuclear warfare.

[+save2600]

The sub in Airlock is powered by nuclear energy. Gotta be some stray radiation going on there.

Solar Storm seems to qualify

[+KaeruYojimbo]

Spider-Man - bitten by a radioactive spider.

[SoundGammon]

What about Reactor?

[+save2600]

What about Reactor?

 

already mentioned in the OP's post

[cvga]

Star Wars - Death Star Battle

[PlayDoh003]

On the other hand, one could argue that when you lose in Missile Command, there's radiation everywhere, hence, "The End".

[The Mr. Video]

The main enemies in Phoenix are explained in the manual of the 2600 version to be Phoenixes affected by radioactive fallout.

[+frankodragon]

Yars Revenge also deals with radiation. http://www.atariprotos.com/2600/software/yars/yars.htm

I clicked on this topic because I thought someone was afraid of some sort of interference from the hardware in cartridge....

Radiation is used to turn Captain TOM into several horrifying alien creatures in most Robot Force backstories

[Syzygy1]

Spider-Man - bitten by a radioactive spider.

Also currently RUNNING OUT OF FLUUUUUIIIIIID!

 

...I don't even like Marvel. (As evidenced by my avatar, I like DC. That's because I know a lot more of, almost all, the DC characters.)

E.T. using wireless communication to phone home, is a form of radiation.

 

aliens use ESP- which doesnt have the same problems as earth-cellphones

[Supergun]

All these years & nobody remembered about Quadrun?

Funny thing is, not only have I grown to like Marvel since then, my avatar is technically a Marvel character. (Schoolhouse Rock is owned by Disney, who owns Marvel, which means Verb could have his own comic series.)

Star Fox, arguably.  From the manual: "The energy crystals have ionized the gases to such an extent that your horizontal drives will be useless: you may not be able to move left or right at low altitudes."
