The Earth Dies Screaming builds a dramatically scaled planetary-destruction premise, with the player likely resisting or fighting some global-scale threat, within the apocalyptic sci-fi catalog that abounded on the Atari 2600 during the '80s. The title, borrowed from a 1964 British sci-fi film, already signals a tone of total emergency. It's one of the many grandiosely named titles that populated the console's third-party catalog, today documented mainly by collectors tracking down the thematic curiosities of the Atari library.
