System seller, eh? Another example of playabity over graphics. The sound is actually cool. Recommened.

I saw this game being demoed in an electronic store when I was a kid and it's what made me convince my parents to get an Atari 800.

Top game from Mike Potter of Synapse,Star Raiders is credited as 'wowing' everyone who saw it as THE game which made them rush out to get an Atari,but this(in my lowly opinion!) demonstrates what a really playable game(with great graphics,sound and music for 1981) this was and still is.The follow-up(Guess what?Protector II!) was an improved version(and good for it),but this is the one for me!Still playing it today,24 years after its release!If you have'nt got it,why not???
