Space Fury (スペースフューリー) is a 1981 arcade game by Sega/Gremlin. It was initially released for vector-based G80 arcade hardware before being brought to the ColecoVision in the years that followed.

Gameplay
Space Fury is very similar to Atari's Asteroids, however features a number of improvements including colour graphics and digitised speech samples. There is more of a focus on fighting enemies, and your ship is upgradable.
The game's attract mode features a cyclopian, big-headed alien commander, who utters the iconic speech-synthesis line, "So... a creature for my amusement! Prepare to battle!", among others. The commander also comments on the performance of players, from "easy" to "outstanding", and later makes a cameo appearance as the stage 8 boss in Zektor.
Space Fury was the first vector game to be released for the G80 board. It was also the first game to feature a colour vector display (a technology Sega called "ColorBeam". Vector (or "x/y") technology was often called "Vectorbeam" at the time, after the company that pioneered the technology in video games).
The ColecoVision version added a chiptune rendition of the first few notes of Aaron Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" at the beginning of the game.
The game is also unlockable within Sega Mega Drive Collection.
