Starship 1 was released in July 1977.

It is another fantastic Atari first. This incredibly realistic video sensation (at its time) goes where no game has gone before. 3500 units were produced.

After a nearly 50-year run, the mid-1970s video games like Starship 1 spelled the end of the electro-mechanical arcade games (such as "Killer Shark" seen in the movie Jaws). Video games would spawn a nation-wide phenomenon which has gone on to this day.
