Mark Turmell's early platformer on a Fox cartridge, cheap and easy to find.

Mark Turmell and Sirius Software developed Fast Eddie, and Fox Video Games published the 2600 version in October 1982. It is a platform game. Sirius published the home computer versions itself. Little is documented about the 2600 version in particular.

What the press said at the time

Computer Entertainer Vol. 1 No. 8November 1982Graphics ★★★ · Play-Action ★★★
The Video Game Update Vol. 1 No. 4July 1982Graphics ★★ · Play-Action ★★½

“We found this an enjoyable variation on the climbing theme, and it's one that has enough difficulty levels to appeal to all ages. Recommended.”

— Computer Entertainer, November 1982

“We'll have to see more before we get too excited about these.”

— The Video Game Update, July 1982

Computer Entertainer rated graphics first and play action second, from four symbols (excellent) to one (poor) — stars in most years, diamonds in 1986–87 — comparing each game only with other games for the same system.
