Description

"Infiltrate" is a classic action arcade-style game for the Atari 2600 console, developed and released by Apollo in 1982. In the game, players take on the role of a secret agent tasked with navigating through a series of increasingly difficult floors within enemy headquarters. The goal is to ascend the building via elevators while avoiding enemy agents who patrol the floors horizontally. The gameplay involves tactically moving up and down the elevators, timing movements to bypass enemies, and reaching the top floor to advance to the next, more challenging level. Each level layout presents unique obstacles and requires quick strategizing and reflexes to progress.

The game is notable for its simple yet engaging mechanics, which were representative of the era's arcade influence on home console gaming. "Infiltrate" embraced the vertical movement gameplay that was less common in many other side-scrolling action games of the time, providing a distinctive challenge. Its release by Apollo, a less prominent player in the gaming industry compared to giants like Atari and Activision, adds a layer of uniqueness to its history. Although Apollo released a modest catalog of games before ceasing operations, "Infiltrate" remains a memorable title among Atari 2600 enthusiasts for its straightforward, fun, and challenging gameplay, which encapsulates the spirit of early 1980s video gaming.
