Hey! Stop!

About

Hey! Stop! is a platform game from 1983 where you control a droid chasing an alien through simple, colorfully rendered levels. The gameplay involves navigating obstacles, avoiding traps, and corralling the alien into a containment zone. While the mechanics and level design closely mirror those of another title, the visuals have been altered with different colors and character designs to create a fresh identity. The controls are responsive but limited by the era's hardware constraints. This Atari 2600 title is essentially a repurposed clone of a 1982 Activision game, with only superficial changes to the sprites and palette. The box art misleadingly suggests a police-themed premise, but the actual game shifts to a sci-fi setting. With its retro aesthetic and direct gameplay, it's a quick diversion for collectors of vintage gaming, though the lack of new mechanics makes it less memorable for newcomers.
