Air-Sea Battle

Air-Sea Battle is a 1977 fixed shooter video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. for the Atari Video Computer System (Atari VCS). The game was designed by Larry Kaplan who joined Atari in 1976. It was the first game he developed for the company. Air-Sea Battle involves the player controlling a gun to shoot down various targets to earn points in different themed areas. In the various gameplay modes, the player can either control the angle of the gun or move the gun across the screen or adjust the guns speed as it automatically moves for aiming. Inspired by the game Combat (1977) that was in development at the same time, Kaplan created various modes to the game.
