Guess the name, if you get it right, then it's your turn. Here goes:

Vector graphics. Fly a small space fighter around a rectangular track. Shoot the enemy droid ships. Bounce off the invisible walls of the track.

this is pissing me off, I know what game you speak of but I can't remember its' name.

Google is of little help too.

edit: not what I was thinking but fits the bill... Starhawk?

diergray · 04-19-2003, 12:30 PM

Star Castle?

kgb · 04-19-2003, 12:58 PM

I can't think of it either. Vector games were so cool. My favorite was Major Havoc.

Another hint: It used a spinner nob to control direction.

It was also the first game that allowed you to put in another quarter to continue.
