The first?[edit]

Was it before Jump Bug, Mars, Space Odyssey, Battle of Atlantis, Scramble and Vanguard? They came out in 81, too. (talk) 06:56, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, need to track down month and date of these game titles to see who is the first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.113.232 (talk) 16:16, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
At the very least it seems pretty clear that Scramble beat it to release by a few months, so this claim that it's the first scrolling shooter should probably be dropped.174.45.212.205 (talk) 09:20, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which came first?[edit]

Looking over gameplay footage on YouTube, this appears to be a pretty much outright clone of Scramble. I suspect that is precisely what it is. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:40, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
