Space Wars è un videogioco arcade realizzato dalla Cinematronics nel 1977; si tratta del primo titolo realizzato con la tecnica della grafica vettoriale. È stato realizzato da Larry Rosenthal, uno studente del MIT affascinato da Spacewar! per PDP-1: ed è proprio a quest'ultimo dal quale trae molta ispirazione per quanto riguarda lo stile di gioco. Nel 1982 è stata prodotta una versione del gioco per Vectrex, console specializzata in titoli dalla grafica vettoriale.
