Mods please move if this is in the wrong place.
:help:
I am trying to figure out the name of a old video game. Let me describe the game play. As I recall you had a simple line segment type space ship that had the ability to "fly" around the screen using a directional joystick type controller, with the ability to rotate; plus thrust and fire buttons.

The objective was to destroy a enemy that was in the center of the screen surrounded be a series of circular 3-4 rotating rings/shields. You had to blast through the rings and hit the enemy before you were shot. If I recall the enemy ship might have even been to fly around once the rings were destroyed.

If you have a idea I would be interested to see a screen shot. It has been driving me crazy for some reason and I know some else enjoyed this game and the Guru's will know. Thanks in advance.

It sounds like Star Castle, but I don't think it used a joystick.

Thanks i looked it up in Google and that is the game. I thought it used a joystick but it must have been some type of directional button. Regardless, thanks for the quick work on that topic.
