Star Raiders is one game in a long series of games that pretend space travel works like airplanes of the WW2 era. It's a very impressive game for the technology it was on, but doesn't convey any of the concepts Sagan was talking about or is known for.
- varelse 11y agoI get the feeling that the original poster never actually played Star Raiders, a game in which all one does is blow up the enemy, occasionally pausing to chase the robot that delivers recharges from the starbases... That said, 36 years later, it's still playable...
- ctdonath 11y agoI did play it. That's why Sagan's description reminded me of it.
