Canyon Bomber
This game, like other Atari titles, is really a combination of multiple games that were released in the arcade right before the VCS was brought to market. In this case 2600 Canyon Bomber (1979) is a combination of Destroyer (1977) and, obviously, Canyon Bomber (1977). The arcade cabinet art for destroyer was quite elaborate, involving layers of both 2D and 3D objects. I had no way of trying to follow suit because the theme for destroyer would be out of place for canyon bomber and vice versa. So, I just decided to split the bezel right down the middle, neglect a backdrop, and spend the time tweaking the marquee graphics instead. Still I had to search long and hard for proper source images to compose the right hand pane.
