Description Attack on Altair
Probably the weirdest game from Windmill Software, creator of Digger, Attack on Altair is a totally text-based shooter, and not a very good one. If you've played Space Invaders and its clones, you know what to expect.
It's somewhat similar to IBM Attack, another very old shooter, except here the objective is the much more mundane one of killing aliens to save the galaxy. The action takes place on the surface of the planet Altair, but without any real graphics it's too hard to distinguish the targets ;)
It's worth a try to see what the early days of Windmill are like, before quitting and playing the timeless Digger.
