This game is a 3D remake of the original Atari 2600 River Raid programmed by Carol Shawn, wich is one of the greatest Atari 2600 games ever. I was pretty surprised to discover Carol Shaw is considered the first woman in game programming ever. I really wanted to contact her to show this fangame but I just couldn’t find her at all. My main objective with this project was to recreate River Raid in a 3D environment, as faithful to the original as possible, and it was pretty difficult. How can a Jet fly low enough to hit a ship and high enough to hit a plane? How could I explain this? How could I translate it to a 3D environment? Well, I think I did it. This is my first 3D game ever. I hope you like it.

Another thing that really makes Retro River Raid enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Retro River Raid. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
