About Airlock

The player is trapped in a crashed nuclear submarine which has begun taking on water. They need to escape by making their way up the levels of the submarine one at a time. Each floor has two hatch keys that need to be collected in order to unlock the elevator to the next level. There is a time limit, though; if you take too long the floor will flood and you'll be unable to escape. Due to the crash, the torpedoes on board the submarine are now loose and wander across the floor as the boat shakes. The player will need to jump over any torpedoes that cross their path, or they will be stunned momentarily and lose precious time.

Data Age's ten-seconds-per-level submarine platformer, an obscure 2600 original at a low price.

Little else is documented about it beyond its publisher and release year.

What the press said at the time

Electronic Fun with Computers & Games Vol. 1 No. 2	December 1982	1 joystick
JoyStik Vol. 1 No. 3	January 1983	★★

“The torpedoes are easy enough to avoid, and the grand trick of timing your man to leap over both barrier and torpedo at once doesn't take much practice.”
— Electronic Fun with Computers & Games, December 1982

“You must grab a Hatch Key, jump two Barriers, avoid a runaway Torpedo, enter an Elevator, and proceed to a higher level — all in a nearly impossible 10 seconds. The graphics are bland (except for the end, when the sub sinks), and the game is unnecessarily difficult.”
— JoyStik, January 1983

Electronic Fun rated games out of four joysticks. JoyStik’s capsule ratings run from one star to five.
