Infiltrate & Megamania: Atari Archive Episode 86

September 1982 continues on, with the releases Apollo's shockingly strong Infiltrate and Activision's solid parody shooter Megamania! While the latter may have been a stronger seller and is widely considered one of Activision's classics on the platform, Infiltrate proves that not everything published by Apollo was pushed out the door before it was ready, and that when the company developed (or in this case, bought) a properly tuned game they could put forth something pretty well liked.
