Logger

Screenshots

The title screen displays 'LOGGER' in large pixelated orange letters across the upper half against a black starry background. A brown diagonal hillside rises from the lower left, with a small pixelated character sprite and what appears to be a tree or log at the bottom center. Green and orange geometric shapes are scattered on the right side of the screen. The art style uses low-resolution pixel graphics with a limited color palette of black, brown, orange, and green typical of early 1980s arcade games.

Logger is an action arcade game released in 1982 by Century Electronics. Players control a lumberjack tasked with cutting down trees and rolling logs across a river using a series of platforms. The objective is to clear logs while avoiding hazards such as birds, bouncing balls, and other obstacles that move across the screen. Controls involve moving the character left and right and using an axe to chop. The game supports two players, allowing alternating play. Stages increase in difficulty as more obstacles appear and movement speeds up. The gameplay draws comparisons to titles like Frogger, with its focus on safe navigation and timing across moving objects.
