Demons to Diamonds is a fixed shooter for the Atari 2600 produced by Atari, Inc. and released in 1982.[3] It was programmed by Nick Turner with graphics designed by Alan Murphy.[4] Nick Turner previously ported Super Breakout to the 2600.[5] The manual states that the game was primarily designed for children in the 6 to 12 age range.[6]
Players attempt to shoot demons in a "cosmic carnival" and then pick up the diamonds left behind by them while dodging shots from enemy skulls. The game includes both single-player and two-player simultaneous play modes.
