[[File:Air-SeaBattle_4609.jpg|frame]] ''Air-Sea Battle'' was one of the [[Atari 2600]]'s launch titles in 1977. It was a series of 27 [[Side View]], one player or [[Player Versus Player]], [[Shoot'Em Up|Shoot Em Ups]]. It was based on a 1975 Atari arcade game called ''[[Anti-Aircraft (Videovideo Gamegame)|Anti-Aircraft]]''. Each game lasts [[Timed Mission|2 minutes and 16 seconds]], and the object is to hit more targets than your opponent.
 
* Games 1-6: Anti-Aircraft. There are two anti-aircraft guns, fixed in the lower part of the screen. Planes fly overhead. Aim your gun and shoot them down. Some variations have unguided shells, some have guided missiles. Some are for two players, and some have a computer opponent that just fires a continuous stream of shells.
Line 11:
The difficulty switches are used to handicap the games, changing the size of your missiles.
