Atari Video Cube is a puzzle game released for the Atari 2600, developed and published by Atari in 1982.[1] It is a single-player game, and uses an Atari joystick.[2]
Gameplay
The game utilizes a Rubik's Cube, but instead of rotating the sections of the cube, the player runs around, switching out the colors. However, the player cannot run onto a square of the same color that is being switched.[3]
Reception
It received mostly positive scores from critics—said to be much easier than a real Rubik's Cube.[4] Ben Langberg of Le Geek said "Atari Video Cube tried to cash in on the Rubik's Cube craze of the 80s. Luckily, it's a great game".[3]
