Space Encounters is an arcade video game released by Bally Midway in 1980. The game recreates the trench flying scene from Star Wars but with the player in a TIE fighter. The player's ship shoots at waves of enemies flying down from the top. The moving background graphics provide the illusion of an isometric 3D view, but the action is in 2D and plays like a fixed shooter.
This was the first Midway game to be released in a cabaret-sized cabinet, what they referred to as their "mini myte" line.
