Flying Saucers is a fixed shooter video game written by Robert Arnstein for the TRS-80 and published by Radio Shack in 1979.

## Gameplay

Flying Saucers is a game in which the player has a limited amount of time to destroy as many alien saucers as able.[2] There are three types of saucers: large, small, and a super saucer that destroys all visible saucers when shot.[1] There are score penalties for shots that do not hit anything and for letting a saucer escape.[1]

## Reception

Glenn Mai reviewed Flying Saucers in The Space Gamer No. 39.[2] Mai commented that "Overall, Flying Saucers is OK. However, I cannot recommend it because there is a better game with the same name (and price!) on the market, Air Raid".[2]
