Parachute (aka Von Himmel durch die Hoelle) is an action video game for the Atari 2600 released in 1983 by Homevision.[1] The game puts the player in the role of parachutist falling gently from the sky.
In order to land safely, the player must evade aeroplanes, helicopters, birds and hot-air balloons. After successfully navigating several screens that progressively increase in speed, the parachutist finally emerges near ground level. In order to achieve a safe landing, the player must simultaneously avoid touching the pacing guard at the bottom while positioning the parachuter on the ground. A higher point bonus is awarded if the parachuter lands near the center of the screen. After landing, the game begins again at an increased difficulty level.
Parachute is one of a few Atari 2600 games with in-game background music. The main theme loops throughout the game while occasionally changing pitch.
