It came out before the VIC or 64, it ewas a vectorgraphic game (like
asteroids) and the sounds were very clear, especially that *crack* sound
when your ship got hit.

I had thought the VIC-20 was a way better version but the 64 version I
was comparing it to is from that Ultimax collection, and I believe there
is a difference between the 64 cart and the Ultimax. Though in general
I appreciated the paddle option on the game as the original arcade used
a spinner for directional control.
