Mike Murray restores an Atari Assault arcade cabinet for the Time Rift Arcade in Bedford, TX.

In 1988, Namco released Assault, a multi-directional shooter arcade game later licensed to Atari Games for North American distribution. Players pilot a caterpillar-tread self-propelled gun through eleven stages, battling foes and dodging attacks. The game features a twin-stick control scheme akin to Battlezone. Its storyline follows humanity's search for new planets due to Earth's overpopulation. Upon enslaving the natives of a distant exo-planet, tensions rise as the planet's inhabitants rise against their human oppressors, with the player controlling a native protagonist determined to bring peace to their world using the self-propelled gun.
