Star Voyager is a first-person space combat game designed by Bob Smith for the Atari 2600 and published in 1982 by Imagic.[2]
Gameplay
In Star Voyager, the player has to save the Capital Starport[3] (although the player never sees it in the game). A two-player mode allows two people to become either the Star Voyager or the enemy fleet.[3] The commander of the Star Voyager has the ability to use missiles or a laser beam in order to stop the enemy.[3] Star portals play a role in transporting the Star Voyager into another part of the galaxy.[3] The game ends when the player dies or runs out of energy.[3] The gameplay is loosely similar to that of the Atari 8-bit game Star Raiders (1979).
