Phaser Patrol, written by Dennis Caswell,[1] is the first numbered release by Arcadia for the Atari 2600 and the pack-in game for the Atari 2600 Supercharger accessory in 1982.
The game simulates space combat in which the player pilots a ship to destroy Dracon invaders.
It is largely a clone of Star Raiders for the Atari 8-bit computers.
BYTE called Phaser Patrol an "addictive" game that has a combination of skill and strategy.
[2] Danny Goodman of Creative Computing Video & Arcade Games praised the high resolution of the game's instrument panel as an example of the Supercharger's excellent graphics.
