Strip Off

About

Strip Off is a retro shooter developed for the Atari 2600 by John Reder. You guide a horizontal laser cannon at the bottom of the screen, firing at enemy ships that carry blocks from the top. Your goal is to stop them before all blocks are gone. The game ramps up speed as you play, making for frantic, fast-paced action. Published by Good Deal Games in 2009, it’s a throwback to classic fixed shooters with simple controls and straightforward scoring. Though originally a limited cartridge release, Strip Off gained new life on Atari Flashback consoles starting in 2014. Its fast action and challenging difficulty have kept it a niche favorite among Atari collectors. The game’s design sticks close to 1980s arcade roots, offering short but intense rounds. Fans of old-school Atari titles often highlight its tight gameplay and nostalgic appeal despite its brief runtime.
