Killing Impact by Rebel Vision - Atari Falcon030 - 4MB/HDD


In 1994 I had a sincere desire in getting myself an Atari Falcon computer because of the awesome Toad Magazines that were always displaying the great graphics that could be created on this computer and other possible multi-media applications that could come about. While it also only showed to have a few games, the games available also caught my interest with a desire of what could be possible in the future.

If your a Falcon owner, you know that this computer has a very limited amount of games released for it's short life-span. One game that sticks out however is Killing Impact, released by RebelVision. Not only because it seems like it's very unheard of and little information about the game can be found on-line but also because I felt the title itself is a quality title and quite unique, such as the Atari Falcon computer is itself.

If you are a Joust fan (as I am) and enjoy platformers, this game would probably interest you. I was awed by it's rich colors and fast movements with a wide variety of animated enemies across the boards when I first fired this game up on my Falcon. To top it off, it all fits snuggly in 4MB of RAM across 3 1.44 Floppy Disks installed onto your HD.

Has anyone else had a chance to play this game? I took some quick (sloppy) video footage of it and posted it on youtube for you to get a quick idea of what it's like. Feel free to check it out:

I had a demo of killing impact, and had played it.

Killing Impact had great graphics, but Joust was the better game for me. I had it playes hours. Joust on ATARI VCS was great.

One of my lovelyest game of the Falcon was Obsession. The Swedish Falcon Flipper. It was great.
