Developed by Mystique and released in 1982, Custer’s Revenge is an adult game for the Atari 2600. Players guide the protagonist across a single screen to reach a captive on the opposite side, carefully dodging a continuous barrage of falling arrows to avoid losing a life.
How to play
The primary objective is to successfully traverse the screen from left to right without being struck by the arrows falling from above. Once you reach the other side, you earn points and the difficulty increases.

Tips
- Focus on timing your advances between arrow volleys rather than rushing continuously across the screen.
- Arrows fall in semi-predictable patterns; observe the gaps to find safe spots to pause.
