Starhawk

Overview

Starhawk was produced by Cinematronics in 1977. You fly your ship above a trench, from a first-person perspective, shooting other ships. A timed game where the player moves a cross hairs around the screen to blast enemy spaceships. The skill level settings affect how quickly the cross hairs move in response to the joystick input. As the game progresses, the speed of the enemy craft increases. If one particular enemy ship is not destroyed quickly enough, it will zap 800 points off of the player's score (the enemy itself is worth 800 points). The game also got ported to the Vectrex in 1982.
