Most of the original Moon Patrol is here, with only volcanoes and rolling boulders missing the cut. The usual graphical compromises and simplifications have happened, but there are still plenty of visuals to enjoy, from the scrolling mountains to the starry sky, something even the arcade game didn't have. What is really amazing about this version, however, is there is virtually no flicker! Despite plenty of things to shoot at and plenty of deadly terrain to avoid, the 2600 is able to present it all without the usual blinking graphics. Audio is typical for Atari 2600 games of the time, which means the music and sound effects are decent. Players can even turn the game theme off if they would rather tour the moon in quiet (if not exactly in peace). Great port, highly recommended.
