Description: This was 1 of the 3 games that Western Tech was originally developing for Kenner, back in 1981; when they backed out, Milton Bradley picked up the rights to it. We're guessing this was to be similar to the Vectrex version. Milton-Bradley planned to create games for the VCS to be distributed under the GCE name. A sell sheet from their 1983 CES Press Kit had this to say: "Congratulations on your Starship command! Your mission: Seek out and destroy the enemy Klingon Mother ship. Chart your way through unexplored sectors of the galaxy, wary of hostile spacecraft and their deadly torpedoes. Transport yourself through mysterious Black Holes to face unknown new dangers. Let lasers and protective shields help you survive, but careful not to drain your fuel supply!".
Landmark: Milton-Bradley planned to create games for the VCS to be distributed under the GCE name.
