Space Jockey Atari 2600 (Vidtec) 1982

Space Jockey is a horizontally scrolling shooter designed by Garry Kitchen for the Atari VCS. It was published under the Vidtec brand of U.S. Games in 1982 as the initial release from the company. The game shipped on a 2K cartridge at a time when most VCS games were 4K. Atari, Inc. stopped internal development of 2K games for the console in 1980.
Space Jockey was the first video game designed by Garry Kitchen. He went on to program the 2600 port of Donkey Kong.
The player controls an "attack saucer" that flies to the right over scrolling, undulating terrain. The saucer only moves vertically and stops just before it hits the ground. The goal is to shoot ground-based tanks and flying enemies: jet planes, propeller planes, helicopters, and hot air balloons.Trees and houses appear on the ground as obstacles which can also be destroyed.
