netspecter Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 This picture is from an early Atari 2600 system box. Ever since I was a kid I wondered where this screen came from. I even bought Space War back in the day because I thought the image look like a scene from space. It's not from Space War. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Looks like Star Ship http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-2600-vcs-star-ship_7245.html Predated Star Raiders (probably even the computer 1979 release). Looks more like one of their "artistic renderings" than actual screenshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Star Ship. One of the launch titles from 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo-Torch Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 That was the first Sears game I bought, they called it Outer Space. By far my favorite early game, even love the sound effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 A strange somewhat rare to me title as I don't own a copy. Not anything like asteroids and missle command and yars doubles always picked up in lots on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
