I remember when first hearing about Blockade Runner I was so pumped because, well, there was the Rebel Blockade Runner in Star Wars and I thought this would be as cool...

For all the hyperbole on the box, you'd think Blockade Runner was something amazing. Somehow, though, I've never been able to get into it. Back in the day, my best friend had it, and he seemed to do pretty well. But even he was always a little ... hesitant when I'd pester him to play it. For whatever reason, I always sucked when just sitting down to try it out. Guess there's just something about this game that doesn't like me. Right from the get-go, it seems there are klaxons wailing and you start smashing into things and don't have time to recover. I feel kinda guilty trashing this game, but I just can't make myself take the time to learn it.

So far, the coolest thing I've noticed in this game is that you can customize the controls to your liking.

	Nifty marching color blocks around the border.
	At the time of its release, this was a unique feature for an Intellivision game—the ability to override the default controls for the game.
	Interesting attempt to provide a first-person flying experience.
