33K plays 1982 #Action#Shooter
Fantastic Voyage is a 1982 scrolling shooter video game developed by Sirius Software and published by Fox Video Games. It was released for the Atari 2600 in December 1982 and later for the Atari 8-bit computer line. The game is based on the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage, and involves the player piloting a miniature submarine through the bloodstream to rescue a patient with a life-threatening blood clot.
Programmed by David Lubar, it was his second game he made for the Atari 2600 during his tenure at Sirius Software following Worm War I (1982). As Sirious had a working relationship with Fox Video Games, it had its programmers develop video game adaptations of various films in their catalogue, which led to Lubar choosing Fantastic Voyage.
On its release, reviews in The Video Game Update and Videogaming Illustrated found the gameplay and graphics mediocre, while other reviews in Videogaming Illustrated and Video Games said the game did offer some unique elements and themes to the shoot'em up genre.
