Play Taz Online

Taz was an Atari 2600 game released in 1983 by Atari, Inc. It was one of many licensed titles from that era, based on the popular Looney Tunes character. The game arrived during a time when arcade-style action and simple mechanics were common on the platform, and it fit right in with its straightforward, frantic premise.

You control the Tasmanian Devil, moving him around a single screen to eat food items like watermelons and hamburgers while avoiding hazards such as bombs and dynamite. The main objective is to clear each wave by consuming all edible objects before the timer runs out or you lose all lives. Signature mechanics include Taz's signature spin move, which lets you whirl through obstacles temporarily, and the increasing speed of objects as you progress, which steadily raises the tension. The pacing is fast and unforgiving, with mistakes quickly costing you a life. It feels like a race against your own reflexes, where one wrong bite ends the frenzy.
