Lost Luggage is an arcade action game for the Atari 2600 developed and published by Apollo Games and released in 1982. In the game the player plays as a pair of skycap porters that must catch falling suitcases from a wild baggage carousel.

This game is not to be confused with the minigame of the same name from Let's Explore the Airport, one of the games in the Buzzy the Knowledge Bug Series.


Tropes:

  • Endless Game: The game only ends if the player loses all three suitcases at the bottom of the screen.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: The game was directed by Ed Salvo who got the idea while waiting for his luggage to come onto the carousel at an airport.
  • Video-Game Lives: The three suitcases on the bottom of the screen represent lives, and the player loses one of a suitcase hits the bottom of the screen uncollected.
  • Whammy: The game's hardest difficulty features "terrorist suitcases" which are colored black and end the game instantly if they hit the floor, regardless of how many extra suitcases the player has remaining.
