'''River Raid Hack (infinite lives version)''' is a hack of [[River Raid]], which plays exactly the same as the original game, except that the player has infinite lives. ==Gameplay== Players control a jet that is constantly stationed at the bottom of the screen and can only move left and right as an unending river scrolls downwards. Players must avoid or destroy various enemy craft and bridges and avoid colliding with any land mass, enemy vehicle or bridge or they will lose a jet. Once a player's jet approaches various enemy craft, they will invariably start to move, although most are confined within borders of the river, except for enemy jets, which fly overhead without pause. Players’ jets are also constantly draining fuel, although they can be replenished by docking with onscreen fuel depots. Running out of fuel will also cost the player a jet. Bridges are also encountered during a game, which, upon being destroyed, the player will start off at the last bridge they destroyed prior to losing a jet. As the game goes on, the difficulty level is raised by having the river become more and more congested with enemy craft, less space to maneuver in river banks, and with less fuel depots appearing onscreen. There is also a variation for two players. ==Hack change== The only difference between this hack and the original [[River Raid]] is that players are granted infinite lives. The onscreen number of lives remaining always reads three. ==Controls, startup== *Select game–Game Select switch *Start game–Game Reset switch *Fire straight missiles–Difficulty switch (A position) *Steer missiles–Difficulty switch (B position) ===(in-game)=== *Move jet–left/right *Speed up–up on joystick *Slow down–down on joystick *Fire–button *Resume game with reserve jet–joystick or button ==Scoring== *Battleship–30 points *Helicopter–60 points *Fuel Depot–80 points *Jet–100 points *Bridge–500 points *Extra jet awarded–every 10,000 points ==Trivia== The original game came with two label variations, being the original release and one with a blue label. This version comes as a ROM file only to be played on [[Atari]] emulators or flashcarts. ==Links== [http://atariage.com/forums/topic/82818-river-raid-hack-infinite-lives-version-download/?hl=%2Briver+%2Braid+%2Bhack+%2Binfinite+%2Blives+%2Bversion#entry1012362 Download ROM] [[Category:Atari 2600 BOTSS]] [[Category:Hacked BOTSS]] [[Category:Freeware BOTSS]] [[Category:Games]]
