Dreadnaughts?! How about Imperial Star Destroyers! One awesome game.

The Dreadnaught Factor is an awesome game. If you're also a Star Wars geek,
this game is a dream-come-true for the Intellivision aficionado. How can you
not see the first ship as anything but an Imperial Star Destroyer, and
your fighter as an X-Wing? Superb graphics, gameplay, and sound effects make
this game a standout on the platform.
If you were good enough, and bothered to take a picture of your game score
and send it in, you could join the Dreadnaught Destroyers club. I did! Here's
my patch - still has the iron-on instructions on the back!

Heck, skip that manual business and just start! |
|
On your way to the jump gate. |
|
You get a good sense of the scale of the ships. Movement and control are smooth and well-done—the bit of inertia in ship control is sweet. Sound is also great.
