'''Liberator''' is a 1982 arcade game created by Atari, Inc. The game play is similar to [[Missile Command (arcade)]], but instead of defending cities the player is trying to destroy enemy bases on a rotating planet while defending the spaceships in the four corners of the screen used to shoot said bases. Controls consist of a trackball and fire and shield buttons.

The game's marquee features the ''Atari Force'' logo. Atari Force was a series of comic books produced by DC Comics for Atari, Inc., both of which were subsidiaries of Warner Communications.  The first ''Atari Force'' volume was a series of miniature comic books included with Atari 2600 games.  The game play that would become Liberator was featured in ''Atari Force'' (mini-comic) #4, included in the [[Phoenix (Atari 2600)]] game. The original team's leader, Commander Martin Champion, appears on the screen in between levels of the game.
