Tailgunner

Released by Cinematronics in 1979, Tailgunner is an arcade game that utilized a vector scan display, a technology that was considered phenomenal for its time. Placing the player in the role of a spaceship gunner, the game offered a unique and highly immersive experience for a shooter of that era, allowing players to target oncoming enemy ships from a third-person perspective. Its cutting-edge visual presentation and deeply engaging controls significantly influenced the development of future shooting games. This rare gem captures the passion and technical ambition of the early video game era, where lines of electronic light flickered against the darkness.
