Outpost (1981 video game)


Outpost is a fixed shooter for the Apple II programmed by Tom McWilliams and published by Sirius Software in 1981. It is a variant of the arcade game Space Zap.
In March 1982, NBC News reported that Outpost earned McWilliams, then still a teenager, at least US$60,000.

Legacy

According to Tim Skelly, the Cinematronics port of Outpost which was being worked on by Scott Boden was reworked after their departure from Cinematronics as the more cutesy title Boxing Bugs by Jack Ritter, which both Skelly and Boden considered a "travesty".
