Star Hawk flies again!

As a kid, I was a great space ship pilot. Since then, my skills might have gotten a bit rusty, but today while visiting my mother, I found by chance an old Mattel Electornics handheld electronic game, and decided to take it back home.

The game is called "Star Hawk", and it is from the year 1981, as you can see from the dust:

Nonetheless, this game works perfectly even today. And after 25 years, I can still shoot down those evil spaceships that try to invade this land.

The game itself has a simple joystick to control the spaceship with, plus some buttons. The colored Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD) is especially cool -- you can play in the dark!

Of course, since this is a hit game of the early 1980s, some chaps have compiled together a web page for it. And, they even have scanned the manuals!
