Demon Attack is an Atari 2600 shooter that Randy Charles Johnson discusses from memory and by comparing it with the Intellivision version. He says the game has a ship at the bottom of the screen that shoots at demons above, and he says he was disappointed that the Atari 2600 version did not include the mothership he associated with the other version.

Randy's Take

Randy treats Demon Attack as an older arcade-style shooter he remembers buying at a flea market decades ago. His view is mixed: he likes the basic idea and describes the gameplay, but he specifically criticizes the Atari 2600 version for lacking the mothership.

He also says he had never played the Intellivision version, although he planned to try it if he ever got an Intellivision console.
