Encounter – Atari 5200
 
Experience one of the Atari 8-bit computer's most impressive early 3D action games—now converted for the Atari 5200!
Encounter is a fast-paced, first-person combat game that puts you at the controls of a futuristic fighting craft on the surface of a mysterious alien world.
 
Speed across a colorful 3D landscape while tracking hostile spacecraft on your radar. Enemy saucers and deadly kamikaze attackers appear across the battlefield, firing projectiles and closing in for the kill. Use the towering columns scattered throughout the landscape as cover, maneuver into firing position, and eliminate every enemy before advancing.
 
Destroy the final enemy and your mission isn't over—you must enter a mysterious portal and survive a high-speed obstacle course before reaching the next battlefield. As you progress, the action becomes faster and increasingly challenging.
 
Originally released for the Atari 8-bit computer family in 1983, Encounter was remarkable for its smooth, high-speed 3D graphics and intense arcade-style gameplay. Often compared to Battlezone, Encounter takes the concept in a different direction with solid, colorful graphics, fast-moving enemies, changing environments, and a relentless pace that made it a favorite among Atari computer owners.
 
Now Atari 5200 players can experience this classic on their favorite console.
