Laser Blast is a vintage fixed shooter video game for the Atari 2600, released in 1981 by Activision. Designed by David Crane, the game falls into the science fiction genre. Players control an alien spacecraft, armed with a laser cannon, tasked with destroying ground defenses composed of mobile tanks and stationary bases. Gameplay occurs on a single, continuous screen without any scrolling. Points are scored for each tank and base destroyed. The game is notably simple, with the primary challenge being to hit moving targets while avoiding return fire from ground defenses.
