Play 2-in-1 - Frostbite And River Raid Online

Game Overview

Remember when Atari cartridges sometimes came with two games in one? This one packs a solid combo: Frostbite and River Raid, both Activision classics from back when high scores were serious business.

Frostbite has you hopping between melting ice blocks to build an igloo—sounds simple until snow crabs start lobbing projectiles at you and the platforms keep vanishing. Meanwhile, River Raid throws you into a fighter jet scrolling endlessly upriver, blasting fuel depots and enemy boats while desperately trying not to run out of gas. The controls are basic (it is the 2600), but that just means every mistake is 100% your fault.

Neither game holds your hand, but that’s part of the charm. You’ll probably crash your jet into a bridge or miss a jump in Frostbite within the first minute, and that’s fine—it’s how you learn. The colors pop in that classic Atari way, and the bleep-bloop soundtrack is pure nostalgia. If you’ve got a soft spot for punishing-but-fair arcade-style challenges, this cartridge’s a time capsule worth dusting off.
