If only one game in all of video game history ever deserved the description "before its time," '''Star Raiders''' is that game. In 1979, video games were still in their infancy, and [[Atari]] had yet to clinch their dominance over the home video game market. But one programmer, Doug Neubauer (the designer of the POKEY sound chip in the [[Atari 8-bit|8-bit Atari line of computers]]), wrote a program the likes of which no one had ever seen before on a home computer, and he did it in only 8 kilobytes of memory. | If only one game in all of video game history ever deserved the description "before its time," '''Star Raiders''' is that game.
