Starship 1 is a first-person shooter[4] space combat game developed and manufactured for arcades in 1977 by Atari, Inc.

[5] The arcade game was distributed in Japan by Namco in 1978,[3] and was ported to the Atari 2600 as Star Ship.

[7] Compared to common arcade games of the time, Starship 1 was comparatively advanced, but used quite a bit of analog technology that would become less common in arcade games in following years.

Alternatively, the player has 5 "proton torpedoes" per game that can be fired by pressing a large white button on the dashboard.

According to research by Ed Fries, Starship 1 contains the first known Easter egg in any arcade game.
