Space Wars is a 1977 multidirectional shooter video game developed and published by Cinematronics for arcades. Like the PDP-1 program Spacewar! (1962), which it is based on, it uses black and white vector graphics for the visuals. The hardware developed for Space Wars became the platform for most of the vector-based arcade games from Cinematronics. It was released in Japan by Taito in 1978, and a Vectrex port was released in 1982.
