Description of Omega Race 1.0

Edit by Brothersoft: Omega Race was Midway’s only vector game created. It was designed as a direct response to Atari’s “Asteroids”, released two years earlier. Omega Race differed significantly from Asteroids in a few respects. First, there was no ”wrap-around” (where you Exit on one edge and return to the opposite edge).

The walls would stop the player’s fighter if it impacted them. Second, all the information such as high score and ships left were in a Box in the middle of the playing field. Last, you could be expected to encounter multiple attackers in each wave. Although Omega Race wasn’t a big seller, it still created a following. Unfortunately, this game came out when games such as “Pac-man” were at their peak.
