Played as part of Atari 50.

We're in the final generation of Atari now so I'm going to start getting a lot harsher than I was on some of the earlier games. This is just a flashier but worse-to-play version of Star Raiders released well over a decade later.

In 1993, you could instead be playing Doom, Star Fox, Myst, the first Sam and Max game... the list could go on forever, but packing this antiquated space flight sim in with the Jaguar is probably one of the most obvious cases of Atari showing their ass and that they were completely unable to evolve with the medium. Ironically, they likely thought the exact opposite, given this was one of the only real 3D games on the market at the time, but there is just, almost nothing here to come back to or latch onto. Many companies struggled hard in the jump to 3D in the 90s, but given Atari couldn't even manage to successfully remain relevant past the NES it's no surprise they managed to botch the jump to 3D as well.
