BarnBuster

Fly fast, fly low, bust through barns!

Homebrew Atari 2600 Port Museum Item

An enhanced ColecoVision conversion of the Atari 2600 classic Barnstorming by Activision. Pilot your biplane at breakneck speed through barns, past windmills, and around obstacles in a race against the clock.

The original Barnstorming was designed by Steve Cartwright for Activision and released in 1982. It challenged players to fly through a set number of barns in the fastest time possible while avoiding flocks of geese and other hazards. BarnBuster brings this speed-run classic to the ColecoVision with enhanced graphics and smooth scrolling.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Barnstorming holds a special place in Atari 2600 history as one of the earliest "speedrun" games — the entire goal was completing the course in the shortest time. Activision even awarded patches to players who could fly through all 25 barns in under 33 seconds. BarnBuster preserves that time-attack spirit while giving the game a visual upgrade on the ColecoVision's superior TMS9928A graphics chip.
