2	''Demon Attack'' is an Platform/{{Atari 2600}} video game released in 1982 by Creator/{{Imagic}}, which was then ported to the Platform/{{Intellivision}}, Platform/{{Odyssey 2}}, Atari 8-bit computer family, [[Platform/VIC20 Commodore VIC-20]], Platform/{{Commodore 64}}, PC, TRS-80, and [[Platform/ColorComputer TRS-80 Color Computer]]. In the game, you control a laser cannon that must destroy a legion of flying demons dropping bombs on you. In the Intellivision version, you fight off three waves of attackers on the moon's surface and then fly into outer space to destroy the demons' mother ship.

4	!!This game provides examples of
5	* AsteroidsMonster: In later waves, the big demons will split into two smaller demons that will eventually drop down and try to ram you.
6	* ClassicalMusic: The Intellivision version plays a snippet from "Music/NightOnBaldMountain" by Music/ModestMussorgsky before you take on the demons' mother ship, and "Pomp and Circumstance" by Music/EdwardElgar after you blow it away.
7	* FinalBoss: The demons' mother ship in the Intellivision version.
8	* GameOver: The game ends when you run out of laser cannons or (in the Atari 2600 version) you complete wave 84, at which point the game freezes.
9	* OffTheShelfFX: The cover art consists of what's clearly plastic dinosaur figurines with jet model parts glued on and painted silver.
10	* ScoringPoints: For every demon you destroy, and for destroying the demon mothership.
11	* ShootEmUp: Similar to ''VideoGame/{{Phoenix}}''. In fact, so similar that Atari had sued Imagic over it.
