The briefing
Crackpots is a 1983 action and arcade game for the Atari 2600, developed and published by Activision.
As Potsy, a rooftop gardener in Brooklyn, players defend buildings from a barrage of insects emerging from the sewer. Use potted petunias to take potshots at the invaders before too many bugs reach the windows and consume the neighborhood.
