Starship 1

Starship 1 is an early space combat and exploration game developed by Atari and released in 1977. It was one of the first games to feature vector graphics, which allowed for more detailed and realistic graphics than previous games.

In Starship 1, players control a spaceship that can travel through space and explore different planets. The goal of the game is to find and destroy the enemy’s mothership. Players can also earn bonus points by destroying enemy ships and by collecting power-ups.

The game was played from a top-down perspective, and players could move their spaceship up, down, left, and right. They could also shoot lasers and bombs. The lasers would travel in a straight line, while the bombs would arc down towards the target.

Starship 1 was a commercial success and was one of the most popular arcade games of its time. It was praised for its innovative use of vector graphics and its challenging gameplay. The game has been cited as an inspiration for later games, such as Asteroids and Star Wars.
