Yar's Revenge is a sci-fi third-person shooter game developed by Killspace Entertainment and published by Atari. It is a re-imagining of the Atari 2600 game Yars' Revenge and developed using the Gamebryo engine.
The game was originally released for Xbox 360 on April 13, 2011, and a PC version was later released on April 28, 2011 through Steam. A PlayStation 3 version was planned but was ultimately canceled for reasons unknown. Killspace Entertainment ceased activity in 2012.
The PC version has limited in-game settings and the game's framerate is also locked to 35 FPS by default. A hidden configuration menu can be accessed by launching the game with the command line argument -configure,[1] while other settings, such as raising the framerate cap, must be configured through manually editing the game's setting files.
