Picnic - 1983 - Atari 2600 ( Atari VCS )

History
Picnic is a classic game that was released in 1983 for the Atari 2600 platform. The game was developed by Western Technologies Inc. and published by U.S. Games. It was part of the wave of games that defined the golden age of arcade video games and has since become a nostalgic piece for many gamers.
Scenario
In Picnic, you are out enjoying a picnic when suddenly a swarm of flies arrive. The game revolves around protecting your hamburgers, located on the left and right bottom of the screen, from the attacking flies. Each player controls a small ant, who must maneuver through a maze, grab food at the peripheries, and bring it back to their colony in the center of the screen. The ant moves slower when carrying food, and spiders patrol the mazes, and will eat any ants they encounter.
How to Play?
The goal of the game is to protect your hamburgers from the attacking flies. When a fly is close enough, it will stick out its tongue to eat the food. If you can swat the fly right when it has its tongue out, it will be knocked out and fall into your fly trap. When all of the flies have been knocked into the trap, you will then need to face a large super fly before the level is complete (be careful, it can eat your food fast!). After knocking out the super fly, you move on to the next round. The game ends when all of your hamburgers have been completely eaten.
