Space Zap is a space-themed fixed shooter arcade video game developed by Game-A-Tron and licensed to Midway Manufacturing in 1980.

Space Zap shipped in three form factors: standard upright, cocktail, and Bally's Mini-Myte reduced size cabinet.

Space Zap clones are numerous and include Outpost (1981) for the Apple II, Colorzap (1982) for the TRS-80 Color Computer,[6] Cyclon (1983) for the VIC-20,[7] and Starship Pegasus (1984) for the TI-99/4A.

[8] In some clones a single joystick movement or key press shoots immediately—such as in Cosmic Ark—instead of separate controls for moving the weapon and firing it.

Broderbund's Master Type (1981) teaches keyboard familiarity by having to press to correct letter or punctuation key to fire the weapon.
