Phaser Patrol is a first-person Shoot'Em Up for the Atari 2600, released in 1982 by Starpath for their Supercharger. Written by Dennis Caswell, and based on Star Raiders, it's considered one of the 2600's best games. The plot is an excuse about aliens called the Dracons invading the Human Federation. You fly a ship armed with Phaser Torpedoes (guided missiles) and you have to kill all the Dracons. There is also a status bar at the bottom, showing shield status (on or off), equipment status (normal, damaged, or destroyed), the radar screen, your energy level, and messages.
