It looks like Intellivision Space Battle, but I don't remember the targeting reticle being so large...

Thank you guys.

This game was used on an old TV show called TV Powww.

After Some days of research, I found that it may have been modified by the manufacturer (probably the Intellivision) to meet the TV show needs.

Oh, in which case that's a modified version of Sharp shot. Give it a look sometime!

There was a version of your "TV Powww” show on the ABC affiliate station I watched growing up (Youngstown, OH). They called the show "33 Pow!", and it used a modified version of Space Battle. Again, I don't remember the large green targeting reticle, but the game consisted of kids calling in to the station to play for 30 seconds, shouting "pow" to fire the lasers. Never quite knew if it used the actual sound of someone saying "pow", or if there was just some dude pressing a button on an Intellivision controller (my guess.) They were played between cartoons (Tom and Jerry, probably.). Ah memories...

It is true. In my research, I saw that the game Sharp Shot is cited as one of the used games.

I read somewhere that engineers have created a device to trigger the sound of "pow", but what I think is the truth: had someone pressed the button on the control ... :lol:
