Vanguard was an exciting and visually impressive game, but it was lost among the competition that came out around the same time. That did not stop [[Atari]] from buying the license to distribute the game on home systems. However, they only opted to bring it to their own [[Atari 2600]] and [[Atari 5200]] systems. A hacked 5200 version was also released on the [[Atari 8-bit]] home computers. Vanguard was an ambitious title for the 2600, and given the system's limitations, the conversion comes off admirably. | Vanguard was an exciting and visually impressive game, but it was lost among the competition that came out around the same time.
