Star Trek: Phaser Strike

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Star Trek: Phaser Strike is a single player shoot 'em up for Milton Bradley's Microvision and the first handheld game to be licensed to Star Trek . It was available from 1979 in the USA in plug-in module form, later also in other countries there under the names Shooting Star (Europe) and Cannon Phaser (Canada). Because Milton Bradley did not renew the license to Star Trek: The Motion Picture , the game only appeared as Phaser Strike in 1980 . Goal of the game graphically simply held is up flying past 90 spacecraft using three turrets shoot and thereby earn points. The size and speed of the spaceships - and thus the level of difficulty - can be set by the player. According to a test by the American magazine Electronic Games, the game is therefore equally suitable for good and less good players.
