Allemand Laut Atari sollte Peek-A-Boo eine revolutionäre neue Videoaktivität sein, die auf den bekannten Konzepten von Peek-a-Boo und Hide 'n' Seek basiert. Es sollte wichtige Konzepte wie räumliche Orientierung, Richtung und Gedächtnis vermitteln, das Selbstwertgefühl eines Kindes stärken und ihm beibringen, Spaß auf dem 2600 zu haben.
Da Peek-A-Boo für sehr kleine Kinder gedacht war, ist das Gameplay sehr einfach. Die Hauptfigur dieses Spiels (eine Katze namens Smart Seymour) bewegt sich hinter einem Quadrat hinein und wieder heraus. Abhängig vom gewählten Spiel ändern sich die verschiedenen Spielelemente geringfügig. Das Quadrat kann ein einzelner Block, ein Rechteck oder vier farbige Quadrate sein. Die Katze kann sich weit vom Quadrat entfernen oder kaum die Hälfte ihres Körpers herausbewegen. Die Katze kann sich schnell hinter dem Quadrat bewegen und wieder herausbewegen, oder sie kann hinter dem Quadrat bleiben. Es gibt acht verschiedene Arten von Spielen, jede mit einem etwas anderen Ziel.

Anglais According to Atari, Peek-A-Boo was to be a revolutionary new video activity based on the familiar concepts of Peek-a-Boo and Hide 'n' Seek. It was supposed to teach important concepts such as spatial orientation, direction, and memory that build a child's self-esteem and teach them to have fun on the 2600.
Since Peek-A-Boo was intended for very young children the gameplay is very simple. The main character of this game (a cat named Smart Seymour) moves in and out from behind a square. Depending on the game selected the various elements of the game change slightly. The square may be a single block, a rectangle, or four colored squares. The cat may move far away from the square, or he may barely move half his body out. The cat may move rapidly in and out from behind the square, or he may stay behind the square. There are eight different types of games, each with a slightly different objective.
Before starting the game, the first thing you must do is turn the kids controller sideways to the left (so the top row read 3 6 9 #, middle row reads 2 5 8 0, and bottom row reads 1 4 7 *).
-Game 1: Single BlocknnThis is the easiest of all the games. All of the buttons work to move Seymour behind the block or out from behind it in various directions.
-Game 2: Horizontal BarnnIn this game the top row of buttons (3 6 9 #) moves Seymour up, the bottom row (1 4 7 *) moves Seymour down, and the middle row (2 5 8 0) gives you an error sound. As with all the other game variations, all of the buttons work to move Seymour behind the line.
-Game 3: Vertical BarnnIn this game buttons 1 2 3 4 5 6 move Seymour to the left while buttons 7 8 9 * 0 # move him to the right.
-Game 4: Single BlocknnIn this game buttons 6 and 9 move Seymour up, 4 and 7 move him down, 1 2 3 moves him left, and * 0 # moves him right. Buttons 5 and 8 give the error sound.
-Game 5: Four BlocksnnIn this game you have to press the right buttons depending on which block Seymour is behind. Buttons 3 and 6 move him from behind the top left block, 9 and # move him from behind the top right block, 1 and 4 move him from behind the bottom left block, and 7 and * move him from behind bottom right block. All of the middle buttons 2580 give the error sound.
-Game 6: Four Colored BlocksnnIn this game the buttons are assigned different colors that correspond to the colored blocks. Buttons 1 2 3 moves Seymour from behind the green block, 456 for the red block, 7 8 9 for the tan block, and 0 * # moves Seymour from behind the blue block.
-Games 7 & 8: 4 Blocks/4 Colored BlocksnnThese last two games are a bit of a mystery. Hitting any button moves Seymour in various directions and only the two middle buttons (5 and 8) give the error sound when moving him out from behind the blocks. Perhaps these games aren't finished or you need the mind of a child to understand them (you'd think I'd be qualified for that).
Peek-A-Boo holds a minor place in Atari history as being the first video game designed with a psychologist.
