Space Duel an arcade game released in 1982 by Atari, Inc. It is a direct descendant of the original Asteroids, with asteroids replaced by colorful geometric shapes like cubes, diamonds, and spinning pinwheels. Space Duel is the first and only multiplayer vector game by Atari. The player has five buttons: two to rotate the ship left or right, one to shoot, one to activate the thruster, and one for force field. Shooting all objects on the screen completes a level. Space Duel was unique for offering players a number of different options for playing. One player could play traditionally as a solo ship, or he could chose to double his fire power by controlling two ships that were tethered together. Two players could play simultaneous, playing competitively by manning their own ship, or by cooperating in the tethered mode. When two ships are tethered, thrusting must be done in cooperation, or one ship's momentum will throw off both ships' positions wildly. Each ship contains a limited amount of Shield power as well. The game appears on the album cover of It's Hard by the Who. The was possibly the first video game to make it onto an album cover. Original Color Vector CRT monitor and bonus PCB 24.5w x 32d x 72h
