Electric Dreams has officially released a ColecoVision homebrew port of CrackPots, a classic 1983 Activision game originally designed by Dan Kitchen for the Atari 2600. This new adaptation brings the crazy, grid-based defense gameplay to ColecoVision owners, revitalizing the decades-old title with updated system capabilities. Furthermore this game retains the high-stakes tension of the 1983 original too. Allowing too many bugs to sneak past Potsy’s defenses triggers a catastrophic penalty: the building structurally degrades, collapsing floor by floor. If players cannot control the swarms, the entire structure eventually crumbles to the ground, resulting in a game over.
