Lightly used game, tested to work on an original Atari 2600 as well as the 2600+ and 7800+.
The backstory of Rocky & Bullwinkle (from Atari Protos)…
“Rocky and Bullwinkle must stop the evil Boris and Natasha from robbing a train full of priceless valuables. While Boris uses "Upsidasium" to float the valuables up to Natasha's waiting helicopter, Rocky must fly around and intercept them. When Rocky catches the valuables, he gives them to Bullwinkle for safe keeping. Although this may sound rather strange, it actually captures the feeling of the show quite nicely as Rocky & Bullwinkle wasn't exactly known for its grounded plots.
Twisted plot aside, Rocky & Bullwinkle is an interesting action game in which you must fly Rocky around the screen grabbing all the valuables before they float up to Natasha. R&B sort of plays like Kaboom in reverse, and resembles Atari's own unreleased Dumbo's Flying Circus in some respects. Treasures can be snagged by flying Rocky over them and pressing the button, but since Rocky has puny little rodent muscles he can only hold two valuables at once. While you can give any treasure to Bullwinkle for points, there is a special combination that is displayed on the screen, these are the two that actually count. If you give these two treasures to Bullwinkle the screen will flash a bit and the timer will reset to 75, giving you more time to look for the next combination. However there's another timer which constantly counts down no matter what you do. When this timer runs out, the game ends. This timer can be extended by selecting different game variations.
While you're zipping around the screen Natasha will occasionally throw Dizzy Dust out of her plane (which looks like a row of brown dots). Dizzy Dust will cause you to fly out of control for a few seconds if they hit out. Other than Natasha there's really nothing in this game that can harm you, but since this was a kids game it wasn't exactly supposed to be violent.
Bullwinkle will occasionally drop a brown box of some sort which allows Rocky to carry six treasures instead of 2. The left difficulty switch affects how many treasures you need to give to Bullwinkle (one or two), while the select button changes Rocky's control scheme. Normally Rocky simply moves left, right, up, and down with the joystick as you would expect, but by pressing the select button you can put him in loop mode (indicated by the arrows at the bottom of the screen). While Rocky is in loop mode pressing up or right will cause him to do a right loop (the long you hold it down the further he goes into the loop), and pressing left or down will cause Rocky to do a left loop. While this control scheme may sound difficult, it becomes second nature after a few minutes.
The 2600 version of Rocky & Bullwinkle was actually designed before the Intellivision version, instead of the other way around as was usually the case. Even though Rocky & Bullwinkle was complete and passed quality assurance, it was canceled for unknown reasons. An Intellivision version was also in development but also went unreleased. It is thought that there may have been an issue with the licensing that was still being ironed out when Mattel closed their doors.”
