Star Raiders is a video game for Atari 8 Bit Computers developed by Doug Neubauer and released by Atari in 1979. Intended as an action version of the Star Trek Text Game, it is most notable for being one of the earliest examples of the "space combat simulation" genre, and is a clear ancestor to later titles like Wing Commander and X Wing. Stanford University selected it in 2007 as one of the 10 Most Important Video Games Of All Time.
