Space War is a video game cartridge released by Atari, Inc. in 1978 for the Atari Video Computer System (renamed to the Atari 2600 in 1982). The game is a version of Spacewar!, the 1962 computer game by Steve Russell.[1] It was released by Sears as Space Combat, for its Atari compatible Tele-Games system.[2] A version for the Atari Lynx was planned but never released.[3][4]
