Space Action is a horizontally scrolling shooter created for the Commodore 64 by Arne Fernlund.[3] The game took three months to develop and was distributed on cartridge by the Swedish company Handic. More than 10,000 copies were sold world-wide. The game became popular in Italy, where about 7,000 of the copies were sold, and was also a minor success in Australia.[2]
Legacy
Space Action made an appearance at an exhibition that the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology held in 2008.[4]
Fernlund did some work on a sequel, Space Action 2, but it was never completed.[5]
The history behind Fernlund creating Space Action was featured in the Swedish documentary "Det svenska spelundret" (eng. "The Swedish gaming wonder").[6]
