Orcs and Ostriches: Aug 26, 2010; The Great Twist

Some cross between space invaders and asteroids for the Atari whateverthefuck in the early 80s.

You moved your tank thing left and right with the wheel controller, and shot at asteroids. Sometimes there'd be a UFO.

Defender was probably my second game, and it was rad as gently caress.

Was it Astrosmash for the Intellivision? Because that game is better than space invaders or asteroid, and I think it might have been my first video game too.

A quick google suggests yes, that was the game. And it indeed was better than both of the others.
