Reactor is an arcade video game released in 1982 by Gottlieb. The object of the game is to cool down the core of a nuclear reactor without being pushed into its walls by swarms of subatomic particles. Reactor was developed by Tim Skelly, who previously designed and programmed a series of vector graphics arcade games for Cinematronics, including Rip Off.[1] It was the first arcade game to credit the developer on the title screen.[2] Reactor was ported to the Atari 2600 by Charlie Heath and published by Parker Brothers the same year as the original.[1]
