Assault was produced by Bomb, a video game developer based out of Asia. It received lukewarm reviews from critics upon release, many referring to it as a rip-off of games such as Galaxian and Demon Attack and criticizing its graphics. Some reviewers did state that despite being unoriginal, was still fun to play, labeling it one of Bomb's better releases for the 2600.
