    Hi all,

    There was a game that I played in the late 70s, but can't remember the name of the game.

    It was all line art, you had a ship that rotated around a series of shields that protected a center area. I believe you controlled it w/ a spinner and a fire button. The details are vague in my memory, but it still sticks out in my mind as a great game. It would have been out around the same time as Lunar Lander, Star Wars, Tempest, and Asteroids. I was only 7 or 8 at the time, so having a hard time pulling the memories all together.

    Much gratitude for helping me with this trip down memory lane!

        @buzz That has to be it! Thanks so much!

        It's funny how our memories distort things over the years, for some reason in my mind the controls were like Tempest. Obviously not!
