I seem to recall a game called " Dogfight " on my friends Atari 400XL circa 1981

Is that the one where two oblongs at right angles representing a plane of one colour moved from left to right across the screen and did battle with two oblongs at right angles representing a plane of another colour, while sometimes moving behind a white oblong representing a cloud? If so, then that's the one I was about to post. Oh and it somehow got routed via a cassette player type thing onto the telly after a load time of about 20 minutes, if memory serves

 

[Sompting_Seagull]

Harrier Attack on the Amstrad 464. Hated anything that you had the joystick waggle for, broke loads and loads of them.

Found this, my god does that bring back memories....can remember completing loads of levels then crashing into the carrier right at the end.

 

[The Brighton Bear]

It was 1981 and it was Zork on a PDP 11/70.

 

[ifuhatepalacestandup]

That's the one! I remember it being cutting edge at the time. Mind you, I thought " scramble " on the ZX81 was pretty good too and that only consisted of the letter O ( spaceship ) dropping the letter b ( bombs ) on the letter S (enemy targets)

 

[Smirko]

If we're talking actual computers rather than consoles then probably 'Twin Kingdom Valley' on an Acorn Electron (not counting the couple of games that came on the demo tape). Other than that it would be one of the tennis or lightgun variants on a Binatone console I got for my birthday in 1980.
