DD1000 - arcade games

for this assignment, me and my teammate have been given the task of researching arcade games in history, in this post i will be showing my research on Computer Space the first arcade game to be sold commercially,

















the game consisted of a simple two directional shooter, whereby the player controls a spaceship in the centre of the screen and there are two flying saucers moving in tandem on the bottom and top of the screen the player had to avoid shots coming from the saucers while returning fire, if the player was killed the saucers scored a point and if a saucer was destroyed the player scored a point, at the end of a ninety second period if the player was in the lead they were awarded another 90 seconds, otherwise the game was over.
