Starhawk is a 1979 vector arcade game designed and programmed by Tim Skelly and manufactured by Cinematronics.
The arcade cabinet had a cinder block placed inside of it, to prevent it from tipping onto the player.
[4] According to the Vectrex manual, the story involves "protecting your comrades from alien ships trying to infiltrate your culture" and "defending the sovereignty of your planet".
Similar to the flying saucer from Space Invaders, a command ship periodically appears and shoots at the player.
Starhawk was the fifth highest-earning arcade video game of 1979 in the United States, below Space Invaders, Football, Sprint 2 and Head On.
