About
A homebrew port of Blastar, developed by Elon Musk (at the age of 12) for the Spectravision in 1984. In this game you have to destroy an alien space freighter, which is carrying deadly Hydrogen Bombs and Status Beam Machines. This game make good use of sprites and animation, and in this sense makes the listing worth checking out.
