Atari 2600 action-platform game from Data Age
The briefing
Frankenstein's Monster is an action, arcade, and platform game for the Atari 2600, released in 1983 by Data Age.
Explore Dr. Frankenstein's castle, traveling from the top floor to the dungeon and back again to collect stones. Avoid ghosts, giant tarantulas, trapdoors, spiders, and a pool of acid, then cross a separate screen filled with bats to place each stone around the monster.
You must complete the barricade four times, with each round becoming more difficult. The game gives you three lives and limits your progress with a timer; falling into the acid pool costs a life.
