The humor in the game, particularly in the Atari 2600 version, is noted as being highly entertaining, especially for streaming purposes. While the controls are basic and sometimes unintuitive, nostalgia plays a role in enhancing the comedic experience for those familiar with the original gameplay.
“The most hilarious one being the Atari 2600 version (I'm sure it will be funny for a stream). The games have basic controls; although they're not always so intuitive, if you played them back when, it won't take you long to remember.”
