	Video games - Star Ship

Star Ship was a video game cartridge developed by Atari for its Video Computer System (later known as the Atari 2600). The game was one of eight launch titles offered when the Atari 2600 went on sale in the fall of 1977.

The game was the first space-related game developed for the Atari VCS. The player(s) used the joystick controller to achieve one of the following objectives:

Destroying as many spacecrafts and robots as possible within a time limit, all while dodging asteroids.
Alternating between avoiding enemy fire from spacecraft and firing at the opponent-controlled craft (human or computer).
Avoiding asteroids and other varied space objects to cover the greatest distance possible.
Having the player land his space module on a lunar landing pad. The moon can either be stationary or be computer- or human opponent-controlled.
