This is a port of an absolutely legendary game that was created in the 60s by Steve Russell and is best known now less as the first multiplayer game that was created before Eric Clapton formed Cream and more as That Game That Piracy Scene Groups Use to Bootstrap Cracked Games Through the Steam API.

What it actually is is a two player rudimentary space combat action game. Its funny that by 1978 this game felt so dated even on a system that launched with such groundbreaking titles as BOUNCE BALL and FAST RUNNING. It is not a great port, it is easy to break and its single player mode is next to useless, but it gets a point or two for still being Space War under all that.
