Help me name this game
« on: October 17, 2013, 12:27:19 am »
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me find the name of an old game i played. I believe it was for Atari.
Details from what I can remember:
It was black and white
It was a space shooter
It played like tempest. I cant remember if you could fly all the way around the screen or not. You fly down a tunnel shooting stuff. The tunnel was made up of squares. One big square then a smaller one then a smaller one. Sometimes a small spider web looking square would come out and if you flew though it you warped ahead.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? its bugging the crap out of me. I actually registered to post this question and any help would be great!

This is the closest thing i have found to it


Anyone know if there is a remake/clone/rip-off of this game?

Sounds somewhat familiar to me.  Star wars or star trek came to mind.

Do you remember the controls?  Was it a flight stick?

Could you see your ship on the screen, or was it the view you saw, like flying in a trench?

All my ATARI games were black and white. Didn't get a color TV 'til 84.

Same here. It was a luxury to play Atari on anything other than my 13 inch B&W special.

I remember always wondering why flipping the B&W/color switch never made my games come in color.

I had a black and white tv when I  was younger also.  I kept asking my dad for a color tv.  Until one day he came home and sat me down.  He said "Son.  I broke down and bought you a color tv.  Its in my pocket."  He then proceeded to pull out a pair of 3D glasses.  From that day on my tv was in beautiful color.  Only red and green mind you but I still got color tv.    ;D
