GATES is a colorful game with a tribal drums soundtrack 
 
The objective is to pilot your craft through as many gates as you can (I made it through 14).
 
Waves: There are 7 gates per wave and each wave gets harder, you'll know because the gates  initially dynamically appear in the moving barriers that ebb and flow with changing colors as you  approach but change differently on subsequent waves requiring more strategy.
 
Strategy:
 
After the first wave it's better to be on the right side of the screen, because the barriers can change unpredictably in the second wave - larger gates may materialize or smaller gates harder to traverse.
 
Game physics include gravity and inertia.
 
Randomizer - Only the first game is the same, gameplay seeds the randomizer.
 
Best play options:
 
The algorithmic tribal drums soundtrack requires a real TIA to experience but the gameplay is just as fun on the Atari Flashback.
