M*A*S*H is the name of an Atari 2600 video game. While controlling a helicopter and army doctors, the M*A*S*H team must rescue wounded to take back to the good old MASH 4077. Due to limitations, players never see Klinger in a dress or any of the funny stuff that happened back in the mobile hospital. While the Korean countryside looks somewhat realistic, the action is simply side-view and the characters look like generic 4-bit Atari 2600 characters.

Reception

Marc Berman for Electronic Fun with Computers & Games said "As a movie and TV show the point was to show the triumph of the human spirit over the inhumanity of war. Take away the humans we know and love, and you've got a heartless trivialization of a gruesome international war. That said and social responsibility aside, this is a terrific game."

Lisa Honden for Electronic Games said "M*A*S*H is a nice enough game to play, but it can't exactly be called startlingly innovative."
