Air Raid – Fixed True NTSC Edition for Atari 2600
 
Air Raid is one of the most mysterious and unusual games ever released for the Atari 2600. Originally published by Men-A-Vision in the early 1980s, the game has become legendary among Atari collectors for both its rarity and its distinctive blue cartridge design.
 
Now you can enjoy Air Raid in a corrected True NTSC version designed for greater compatibility with both original Atari hardware and today's modern Atari systems.
 
Fixed True NTSC Version
 
The original Air Raid program uses highly unusual video timing, producing approximately 291 scanlines per frame instead of the standard NTSC target of approximately 262 scanlines. While original Atari consoles and older CRT televisions can often tolerate this abnormal signal, modern hardware can have difficulty interpreting it.
 
This edition has been carefully modified to produce a proper 262-scanline NTSC video signal while preserving the original game's graphics, sound and gameplay.
 
This is not simply a standard Air Raid ROM placed on a reproduction cartridge. The program has been specifically corrected to address the unusual video timing found in the original release.

About the Game
 
Earth is under attack!
 
Pilot your ship through wave after wave of enemy aircraft while defending the city below. Move left and right, fire on incoming enemies, and survive as long as possible while the attack becomes increasingly intense.
 
Air Raid is remembered today as much for its unusual history as for the game itself. Original cartridges are among the rarest commercially released Atari 2600 games ever discovered, making an authentic copy unattainable for most collectors.
 
This reproduction lets Atari enthusiasts experience this legendary title on real hardware — now with corrected NTSC video timing for modern compatibility.
