Salmon Run

Salmon Run is a 1982 computer game for the Atari 8-bit family created by Bill Williams and distributed via the Atari Program Exchange. Salmon Run was the first game in Williams's career, followed by a string of successes noted for their oddball concepts.

The player takes the role of Sam the Salmon, as he attempts to swim upriver to mate. Along the way he encounters waterfalls, a bear, fishermen and seagulls, all attempting to eat him. If he survives to the spawning grounds, he is met and kissed by his mate.

In 1983 Salmon Run was released for the VIC-20 by Synapse Software using the name Showcase Software.
