Flag Capture is a puzzle video game published in 1978 by Atari, Inc. for the Atari Video Computer System (renamed to the Atari 2600 in 1982). It is based on the traditional game Capture the flag,[3] and was designed and programmed by Jim Huether.[4]
The game was later included with the Atari Flashback 3 console.[5]
The player is shown a grid with white squares in it and must guess which square the flag is behind. To aid the locating of the flag the player may be shown an arrow or a number to indicate where the flag may be.[6]
The game may be played in single-player mode, or in a two-player mode where the players play together.[3]
