Play Tag

About

Play Tag is a simple arcade game where you try to stay free from the opponent’s touch. You move around the screen to dodge their attempts to tag you. If they succeed, the roles flip and you become the chaser. The gameplay is straightforward but tense, relying on quick reflexes and positioning. The single-player mode pits you against the computer, which follows basic patterns but can still be tricky to outmaneuver. This 2009 release for the Odyssey 2/Videopac G7000 is a relic from a bygone era of minimalist game design. Its charm lies in its no-frills execution and the challenge of outlasting an AI that learns your moves over time. While not complex, it captures the competitive spirit of classic tag games, offering a brief but addictive loop of evasion and pursuit. Its presence on such an old platform makes it a curiosity for retro enthusiasts.
