Play Off Your Rocker Online

Off Your Rocker came out for the Atari 2600 in 1983, published by Atari themselves. It was one of those quirky titles that showed up late in the console's life, trying something a little different with the hardware. You didn't see many games built around a specific controller like this one.

You control a character on screen by tilting a balance board peripheral, trying to mimic the movements of a computer-controlled opponent. The main objective is to match each pose as accurately as possible before time runs out. The sequences start simple but quickly become longer and more complex, demanding faster reactions and careful control. It starts off easy enough but soon has you wobbling like you've had one too many as the pace picks up. Playing it feels both silly and strangely tense, especially when you're just one move away from messing up the whole sequence.
