If you’re a fan of classic space shooters, Omega Race is a must-play experience. Released by Midway in 1981, it stands out as one of the few vector-based arcade games of its time, offering smooth, precise visuals and intense gameplay.

Omega Race was created by Midway Games.
The Legacy of Omega Race
Unlike traditional raster-based arcade games, it, features crisp vector graphics, similar to those seen in Asteroids and Tempest. Players take control of a lone starfighter inside a battle arena, using inertia-based movement to dodge enemy drones and mines while racking up points. The game’s physics-based mechanics make it both challenging and rewarding, requiring sharp reflexes and careful maneuvering.
With its fast-paced action and competitive high-score gameplay, Omega Race became a hit among arcade enthusiasts and remains a beloved classic today.
Why It Is Still a Must-Play
Omega Race offers a unique arcade experience with its precise controls and high-speed dogfighting action. Unlike many other shooters of its time, the game relies on momentum and skillful navigation, creating a playstyle that feels both tactical and exhilarating.
At Time Rift Arcade in Bedford, TX, you can enjoy Omega Race as it was meant to be played—on an authentic vector-based arcade cabinet that delivers the full classic experience.
