Space Spartans

Space Spartans by Mattel Electronics is a revolutionary space adventure game for the Intellivision home gaming console.

Taking the genre to new heights, Space Spartans offers players a fully interactive experience where the game speaks to you, providing voice commands that add depth to the immersive space combat. With your starship at the helm, you will face overwhelming alien forces as you protect your star bases and navigate through intense battles across multiple space sectors.

INTERACTIVE VOICE COMMANDS AND BATTLE STRATEGY

Unlike traditional games, Space Spartans introduces advanced voice commands, making your gaming experience feel like you're the real commander of a starship. The game begins with a female voice greeting you and assigning your mission—defend three star bases from incoming alien fleets. The voice not only enhances gameplay but also guides you in managing your ship’s critical systems and alerts you to danger.

DEFEND YOUR STAR BASES

The objective is clear: protect your three star bases from relentless alien attacks. You must strategically navigate through space, moving between sectors and engaging enemy ships in combat. Once you select a space sector, the real battle begins, where your reflexes and tactical decision-making will be tested. Alien ships will challenge your skills, but with your command systems in place, you can fight back and outmaneuver the enemy.

MANAGE YOUR STARSHIP'S SYSTEMS

Your ship is equipped with five vital systems that play a key role in your survival: the Battle Computer, Impulse Drive, Hyper Drive, Tracking Computer, and Shields. Each system is crucial to your success, and when the ship is hit, these systems can sustain damage. If a system breaks down, you can head to a star base for repairs, or attempt to fix the damage during battle, though it comes with the risk of using up your ship’s energy.

REPAIR AND SURVIVE

Your starship is resilient, but not invincible. Repairs are essential, especially if you want to keep fighting off alien forces. While you can perform quick repairs during battle, full system restoration can only be achieved by docking at a star base. However, time is of the essence—if all of your ship’s systems are destroyed, your ship will be completely obliterated. Using the Hyper Drive recklessly can even trigger a catastrophic explosion, with a 50% chance of blowing up your ship when damaged.

STRATEGIC USE OF ENERGY AND HYPER DRIVE

As the commander, energy management is key. Every action, from repairs to battle maneuvers, consumes your ship’s energy reserves. This adds an additional layer of strategy, forcing you to decide when to engage, when to retreat, and when to make repairs. The Hyper Drive is your ship’s fastest mode of travel, but be cautious—using it when systems are severely damaged can cause the ship to explode, ending your journey in defeat.

THE ULTIMATE STARSHIP COMMAND EXPERIENCE

Space Spartans delivers an unparalleled gaming experience that goes beyond traditional space combat. With voice guidance, complex ship management, and intense alien encounters, it’s a game that requires strategic thinking, fast reflexes, and tactical decision-making. As you travel between sectors, engage in dogfights with enemy ships, and protect your star bases, you'll need to stay sharp to avoid destruction and maintain your mission’s success.

IMMERSIVE SPACE WARFARE FOR INTELLIVISION FANS

As one of the pioneering talking games on Intellivision, Space Spartans offers an immersive space warfare experience that stands out among retro games. Its combination of real-time voice commands, strategic gameplay, and intense battles make it a must-play for fans of classic sci-fi adventures. Can you rise to the challenge and defend the galaxy against overwhelming alien odds?
