Game Overview

Barnstorming on the Atari 2600 is one of those games that looks simple until you actually try it. You're in this little biplane, weaving through barn openings while dodging geese that seem to have a personal vendetta against you. The windmills? Yeah, they're not just for decoration—clip one and your plane stutters like it just remembered it left the oven on.

What starts as a breezy flight quickly turns into a frantic dash as you realize timing your dives and climbs is everything. The higher difficulty levels make you thread through up to 25 barns, and by then, even the weather vanes feel like they're leaning into your path on purpose. It's the kind of game where you'll restart immediately after a crash, muttering "just one more try" every single time.

Also, the geese honk. Never trust the geese.
