I had that on the Atari 400 without any instructions. It took me forever how to refuel. Also, I later found out this weird game I remember playing was Conway’s Game of Life and its significance way later in life.

Yes that could be it! I just remember it being amazing and futuristic pressing the buttons and zipping through hyperspace

I can also remember being very disappointed that the Atari packaging art never reflected the game graphics lol (I was young)
