Rivaling Frogger as one of the best non-Activision, non-Imagic third-party games for the system, Turmoil is the best kept secret in Atari VCS gaming. Produced by 20th Century Fox, the company responsible (or should that be irresponsible?) for such turkeys as Porky's and Deadly Duck, Turmoil is a surprisingly fun game. Players pilot a ship up and down an alleyway in the center of the screen, avoiding and blasting (right and left) pastel-colored aliens that cruise along a series of horizontal lanes. When a prize appears, players can fly vertically to go and grab it. This game has most everything a hardcore shooter fan could want: rapid fire, fast gameplay, exciting sound effects, intense action, a sense of level progression (1-9), and formidable enemies. It even has a pause feature!
