Game Overview

Kabobber is one of those weird little Atari 2600 games that makes you go, "Wait, what?" at first. You're a chef—just a blocky little guy—trying to spear falling food onto a spinning kebab stick. Sounds simple, but the timing gets brutal fast. Miss a tomato or onion, and it splats on the floor while the stick keeps spinning mockingly.

What I love is how the ingredients start slow, lulling you into thinking you've got this, then suddenly everything's dropping like it's in freefall. The controls are just left and right, but nailing that perfect skewer as the stick rotates feels weirdly satisfying. It's got that classic Activision charm—simple but punishing in the best way.

Not gonna lie, it's no Pitfall or River Raid, but there's something oddly hypnotic about chasing that high score while dodging rogue eggplants. Definitely one of the quirkier hidden gems in the 2600 library.
