Crackpots is an Atari 2600 game designed by Dan Kitchen and published by Activision in 1983. It was Kitchen’s first game for Activision; he later did a number of ports to the 2600, including the arcade games Kung Fu Master and Double Dragon.
In Crackpots, the player controls Potsy, a gardener. Potsy’s Brooklyn building is being overrun by spiders trying to climb inside six different windows. The player moves Potsy back and forth along the roof to drop pots on the spiders before they can get close enough to enter the windows.
