"Taz" was released by Atari in 1983 for Atari 2600 and it's about Taz the Tasmanian Devil, created by Warner Bros. studios going food frenzy. The game, besides the title screen has nothing to do with Taz since he appears in the game as a Hurricane. The same game released outside United States featuring not Taz the tasmanian devil but Asterix. Otherwise it's the same game.

Gameplay

The gameplay is rather simple. You guide TAZ between the stages lines in order to eat hamburgers and avoid the dynamites. The game does not use any buttons and the Difficulty increases by simply increasing the speed of the objects on screen. As the game progress, the Burgers may change into other Edible or drinkable objects such as Beer kegs, hot dogs etc. In that way the game shows you your level and the hits worth more score points.There aren't many sound effects in the game except a blipping sound when the player hits an edible object and another sound that resembles of explosion when the player hits a dynamite.
