Human Cannonball

Human Cannonball is a 1979 artillery video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari VCS (later renamed the Atari 2600). The goal is to launch a performer from a cannon so they land in container of water supported by a tower. The game was in the first wave of Atari VCS games after the original nine launch titles. It was also among the first games for the console to be discontinued by Atari. Although the programmer is unknown, the game is based on an unreleased arcade video game designed by Owen Rubin, called Cannonball. The cover art for the game is by Cliff Spohn, who created the cover art for many early Atari games.
