Radar Scope is a 1979 arcade game by Nintendo.

Gameplay
Radar Scope is a fixed shooter that combines the game mechanics of Taito's Space Invaders and Namco's Galaxian. As the captain of the Sonic Spaceport, the player must defend their station against enemy spaceships called Gamma Raiders, which swoop down to attack before swiftly retreating to formation. The object of the game is to destroy 48 Gamma Raiders before the disintegration of all of the player's Spaceports. The player controls a ship placed at the bottom of the screen and slides left and right while shooting.
