Played as part of Atari 50.
Kind of insanely innovative for the time, being maybe one of the first shooters ever with full first-person 3 dimensional movement. The instruction book gets into a frankly ridiculous amount of detail but all you really need to know is that you use the galactic chart to warp to areas with enemies or bases in them. In the grand scheme of things it's super simple and it doesn't take long for the novelty of flying around to wear off, but for the time this had to have been absolutely mindblowing.
