Star Castle

Star Castle is a 1980 multidirectional shooter video game developed and published by Cinematronics for arcades. The game involves obliterating a series of defenses orbiting a stationary turret in the center of the screen. The arcade game uses vector graphics on a black and white display, with the colors of the rings and screen provided by a transparent plastic overlay. Star Castle was designed by Tim Skelly and programmed by Scott Boden; Skelly created a number of other vector games for Cinematronics, including Starhawk, Armor Attack, and Rip Off. A Vectrex port of Star Castle was released in 1983.
