| Astro Chase | Parker Brothers (First Star Software) | 1983 | Rarity 3 Scarce. North American NTSC. 1 player only. Astrochase in some ways is like a maze game. You must maneuver inbetween planets and get fuel from stations in each corner of the screen. You must shoot down enemy ships and bombs. [Zerothis] | labelimagesubject |
| Zone Ranger | Activision | 1984 | FC-101. Rarity 5 rare, for both standard and silver standard label variations. North America NTSC.1 player at a time, 2 players alternating. Shoot asteroids, misaligned satellites, runaway robots, and other space debris in this 30 level variation of the [[gameid:15 Asteroids]] concept. Most levels take place in open space, but some are mazes. Time-warp holes will send you to level 7 and are useful for a quick escape. Their are other wormholes and warp bubbles that will transport you to additional difficult bonus levels. Each level has a time limit (clearly displayed) in which to shoot 16 satellites (you'll have to keep count yourself). All other destruction is for bonus points. Satellites can be found by the energy beams they send to each other. These beams are deadly to the touch and a satellite will still relay them after being 'destroyed'. Sparklers make you invulnerable for a short time. [Zerothis] | labelimagesubject |
| Sinistar | Atari | 2010 | YOUR INTERGALACTIC CRYSTAL-MINING MISSION takes you to the antipodes of the known universe.

KEEP THE GALAXY SAFE for all it's sinizens! Fiendish Worker ships from the planet Sporg will attempt to fabricate a Sinistar from the remains of derelict planetoids in your very sector. You must not let them do this for two reasons: (1) These planetoids contain the life-sustaining crystals that your civilisation requires for it's vital technologies. (2) With the eminently unstable Sinistar in their possession, the Sprogites can lay waste to any civilisation in your sector. You alone stand in their way. YOU MUST MINE THE SINISITE CRYSTALS. Williams has equipped you with the latest heuristic electret cannon technology. All you need to do is aim at a planetoid and shoot. Now collect your motherlode! IN FACT, ONLY WITH SINISITE CAN YOU MANUFAC- TURE SINIBOMBS to eradicate the Sinistar. But you must also rebuff the Workers and disintegrate their even more aggressive comrades-at-arms, the evil skelomorphic Warriors! Intelligent beings everywhere depend on your courage, your dedication, your reserve, your shre command of tactical invention! It's up to you space cadet!***This prototype is known to exist. | labelminimizesubject |
