Nice job at 1:42. That was a fight to the death because your shields were out.

[OceanBlueKirby]

Thanks. It certainly took a good deal of careful manuvering and enthusiastic shooting to take care of that enemy, as I recall.

This game was better than Star Raiders, though my favorite first person shooter was Mattel's Space Attack.

@TheLastBrainLeft Agreed, better graphics and easier shooting.

When I was a kid I paid $60 for this piece of crap lol I had no idea what to do with it.

@metemi did you try the instruction book? They're pretty nice to tell you how to play games you buy.

I had this cartridge! It really pushed the limits of what the Atari 2600 could do. Very involved game. 1st Atari game cart I remember where you had to read the manual before you could play the game. You'd warp to different parts of space and fight bad guys. You had to make sure you didn't run out of energy. You had to use one of the switches on the 2600 console to bring up the map, I can't remember which one.

I remember that you COULDNT play this on B&W set so I had to take it out of my room (B&W set) and bring it to living room where toe colour set was to play it!

I loved this game - it was Activision's answer to Atari's Star Raiders.

I remember in September of '83, shortly after my Parents announced their Divorce, I was really depressed & started skipping Church & one dark, depressing Sunday I started playing this game while my Mom (going through a midlife crisis) started blasting some depressing Jimmy Buffet song on her new stereo.

Just what I needed - more depression - thanks, Mom....at least I got to blast a lot of Aliens that day thanks to Activision

I love this game!

This was a game that I was never able to figure out either, though I always thought it looked really cool. After seeing this video and reading the description, I'll have to play it again.

[killerducks2]

way to confusing...........

[OceanBlueKirby]

Have you read the description? That might clear up some of the confusion for you.
