Game » consists of 4 releases. Released 1978
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.
One of the first graphical computer software games known to have been created. Written in 1962 by Steve Russell, Martin Graetz, and Wayne Wiitanen, it inspired budding game developers, spawned later versions of the game, as well as influencing Asteroids and Star Control.
