The Incredible Hulk was supposed to be a video game created by toy and game manufacturer Parker Brothers in 1983 for the Atari 2600. The release of The Incredible Hulk was scheduled for Autumn 1983. However, this period coincided with the video game crash of 1983 (following E.T.'s release in December 1982). During this crisis, numerous companies, including Parker Brothers, opted not to launch games that had already been developed for the Atari 2600. Consequently, The Incredible Hulk was never made available to the public.Frogger

In the side-view levels, the player has to destroy red bunkers that shoot constantly, and can also use the tractor beam to pick up blue fuel tanks.

The difficulty switches affect the length of your tongue (a little longer when set to B). There are four game variations: 1 and 3 are one-player versions; 2 and 4 are two-player versions. You are allowed so many misses-an insect will fly away if you fail to get it after a certain time limit. Games 3 and 4 alCrystal Castles
