Space Fury is a space shooter game developed by Gremlin Industries and published by CBS Electronics for the ColecoVision console in 1982. It is a home adaptation of the 1981 arcade game, notable for being one of the first color vector graphics games. Players control a spaceship tasked with destroying waves of alien enemies in outer space.

The gameplay involves maneuvering the ship around the screen while shooting enemy formations and avoiding incoming fire. Players face increasingly difficult waves of enemies, including boss ships with unique attack patterns. Strategic movement and precise shooting are essential for survival and high scores.

Graphically, the ColecoVision version adapts the original vector graphics into rasterized colorful sprites and backgrounds suitable for the home console. Despite the change in visual style, the game maintains the fast-paced action and challenging gameplay of the arcade original. Sound effects simulate laser fire and explosions, enhancing the gameplay atmosphere.
