Flag Capture, also referred to as Capture, is a classic puzzle and strategy video game developed for the Atari 2600 console. Released in 1978, it stands as one of the earliest game titles in the system's library. The game falls under the puzzle and early strategy genre, where players navigate a maze-like grid in an attempt to locate a hidden flag before their opponent does. With a simple joystick controller, they must use deduction and memory, capturing the flag or probing for hints on its location through the 9x9 or 16x16 game boards. Playable either against the computer or a second player, Flag Capture is noted for its rudimentary graphics and foundational gameplay mechanics that emphasize logical thinking and quick decision making.
