Space Hawk is an Intellivision game that features gameplay similar to Asteroids. You are an astronaut stuck in deep space. You are equipped with a jet pack to help move around, and a laser gun to destroy enemies. Your main enemy is a white space hawk which wanders around the screen, leaving a trail of deadly bubbles behind him.
Your goal is to score as many points as you can by destroying both the space hawk and the bubbles, both of which are constantly trying to get you. If you find yourself in an emergency situation, you have the ability to enter hyperspace, which will temporarily bring you away from danger. However, be aware that your hyperspace ability is limited, so make sure to conserve it if possible.
