Interceptor
An early first-person shooter arcade video game released by Taito in 1975. An eight-way joystick is used to aim a crosshair and shoot at enemy aircraft that move in formations of two, in and out of the player's firing range. It was also the first video game with sprite-scaling and multi-directional scrolling, and the first free-roaming sandbox video game with a scrolling open world.
