This game is a historic relic and has surprisingly smart AI for when AI should not have been a thing. I can even control where my projectile goes.

Computer Space is the first commercially sold video game from 1971 and the first to be used as a prop in a motion picture (Soylent Green from the same year). You fight against two flying saucers who shoot projectiles at you that are shockingly difficult to avoid, and you the player are a rocket ship whose job it is to shoot back. It works like Pong where the number of spaceships successfully shot at get progressively higher and vice versa for the computer opponent.
