Impressive for a '77 release. Sure, better games like Starmaster came along (years later), but give Star Ship a break, it's got to be the first 3-D first-person home video game ever; and it's actually pretty neat. I wish the Lunar Lander game was actually Lunar Lander, but it's still nifty...in what other game can you control the moon?
