Laser Hawk is a horizontally scrolling shooter for Atari 8-bit computers published by UK-based Red Rat Software.
It was created in Dunedin, New Zealand by programmer Andrew Bradfield[1] and artist Harvey A. Kong Tin.
[2] A review of Laser Hawk in the January 1987 issue of Atari User concluded, "While the game concept is perhaps getting a little long in the tooth, Red Rat has tweaked it nicely, treating it in a thoughtful and refreshing way.
[3] Laser Hawk was later included in the 4 Star Compilation, Volume 1 published by Red Rat, along with Escape from Doomworld, Domain of the Undead, and Panic Express.
[6] Development started in 1986 with the finished game using four floppy disk sides at 90K apiece.
