In which I play "Stargate", a prototype game by Atari dated 1984, based on the classic Williams arcade game, and programmed by Steve Baker.

It's a little chaotic so it's hard to see what's going on. Collision detection is not finely tuned. That said, it's reasonably fun to play. Too bad this never was a finished product, it had great potential.

Things that I eventually worked out:
- Hit enter to be able to change the game parameters with the joystick.
- Spacebar is the smart bomb.
- "I" activates the "Inviso".
