River Raid
1982 · Released · United States
River Raid is a 1982 shoot 'em up video game developed and published by Activision for the Atari 2600 and designed by Carol Shaw. The player controls a fighter jet over the River of No Return in a raid behind enemy lines. The goal is to navigate the flight by destroying enemy tankers, helicopters, fuel depots and bridges without running out of fuel or crashing. Before joining Activision, Shaw had developed games for Atari, Inc. Inspired by the arcade game Scramble (1981), she set out to make a game with a continuously scrolling screen. Shaw programmed and designed River Raid herself, taking occasional advice from other Activision staff.
