Starship Command is a multidirectional shooter ... The player assumes the role of captain of a battle starship, charged with defending the frontiers of space from hostile alien ships, which come in two sizes — large and small. Some of the larger ships have cloaking devices which make them invisible. Damage is inflicted on ships when they are shot or rammed by other ships ... The player vessel remains locked in the centre of the screen and the world rotates and moves around it. [Wikipedia]
