A cult classic on the Atari 400 & 800 computers, Star Raiders was something that the VCS just couldn't do. The demands of the control scheme were simply too complex for a machine whose controls consisted of one joystick and one action button. Enter the Video Touch Pad - not really much of an innovation, but more of a futuristic restyling of the 12-button keypad controllers that dated back to the Basic Programming cartridge. One Video Touch Pad was included with each Star Raiders cartridge in a king-sized box, along with a plastic overlay detailing the Star Raiders-specific actions that could be triggered.
