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.
