GAME DESCRIPTION

DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

This is an original Atari 2600 game designed and programmed by Steve Tatsumi. Although completed, Marketing never put it on the release schedule, probably because it requires two players (see Sea Battle).


FUN FACT: Swordfight received its first public showing at the Las Vegas Classic Gaming Expo in August 1999. Atari fans were able to play the cartridge in the Intellivision Productions booth.

Due to the enthusiasm of the fans, Intellivision Productions sold copies of the Atari Swordfight cartridge at the 2000 Classic Gaming Expo.
