Star Raiders - Atari 5200

Star Raiders for the Atari 5200 is a pioneering first-person space combat simulator and one of the earliest examples of the space simulation genre. Released in 1982 as an enhanced version of the 1979 Atari 8-bit family title, players take on the role of a spaceship pilot defending the galaxy against the evil Zylon fleet. The game combines real-time dogfights with strategic elements, as players manage shields, weapons, and energy, while navigating a sector map to warp to various locations and engage in battles. Its innovative use of 3D graphics and complex gameplay mechanics were groundbreaking for the time.
