The briefing
Harem is an Atari 2600 action-adventure arcade prototype developed by Michael Case and listed as never published.
The game challenges you to navigate hazards while reaching women across several areas. You must time your movement around sniper fire, leap over a lake at the last moment, pass a fire-breathing dragon during pauses, and drop into a hole to trigger the next encounter. In the upper area, gargoyles appear in random positions and drop molten lava while you pursue a woman.
Releasing her when warned can help you avoid the lava, but each successful catch makes the gargoyles faster. The game begins with three lives, and reaching 69 points awards another life.
