Tax Avoiders (Atari 2600, 1982)

About this product

Product Information

In Tax Avoiders, the goal is to earn $1 million by the year's end. That's $1 million after taxes, mind you, because the IRS, tax sheltered investments, and other income issues all come to play. Can you, as John Q. Taxpayer, strike it rich?

There are two screens in Tax Avoiders. Screen 1 resembles the rivets level in Donkey Kong. Viewed from the side, there are four levels and an elevator shaft that you may use to go from level to level. On each level there are dollar signs, which earn you income, and red tape, which drains your income. Collect as much money as you can during this period.

At the bottom of the screen, time is marked off by a calendar. When you reach the halfway mark though a quarter, the game switches to screen 2.

Screen 2 resembles the multi-platformed, mulit-laddered screens of Miner 2049er. You can climb around on the ladders and jump from platform to platform.

There are also friends and foes in screen 2. Pursuing you is a small man who changes colors to indicate his changing jobs. When he is black, he is Eggie the IRS Agent. Avoid him, or be audited to the tune of $100,000. When he is pink, he is Waggie, an accountant who is soliciting your business. Catch him and pay him $1,000, and he will make a valuable Tax Sheltered Investment appear. When the man is green he is Toodles, a registered investment advisor who will offer the best Tax Sheltered Investment available.

The Tax Sheltered Investments are various symbols that appear on screen 2 and represent Solar Energy, Gas & Oil Investments, R&D Investments, etc. Get a good investment and your wealth will go up. Get a bad investment, and it will go down. After you touch an investment, you must place it a small suitcase that appears representing your portfolio.

When the quarter ends, your income is taxed, and you are returned to the screen 1. The game ends at the end of the year, December 31. You win the game if you have made over $1 million.
