Barnyard Blaster for the Atari 7800, released in 1988, is a light gun shooter by Atari Corporation, written by James Zalewski. Players take on the role of a farmhand, using the Atari XG-1 light gun to eliminate vermin (rodents, birds) across three stages—barn, cornfield, and barnyard—to protect a newly bought farm. With ~3 million Atari 7800 consoles sold, this game is one of few 7800 titles requiring a light gun, though joystick play is supported.
