I remember playing a game back when I was around 10 years old I believe, which would put this game around '83 or earlier. Its really hard to remember much about it, but I do remember it was a typical vertical space shooter along the lines of Galaga. But your ship had a fuel bar, and at some point you would either shoot or dock with a fuel pod to regain your energy. I think you shoot at the pod though since I remember it being at the top of the screen while your ship stayed at the bottom. Any Ideas?

Another game I was trying to remember, but happen to just stumble on to it today was "Eagle". Fun game, and cool sounds.
 
Astro Blaster has alot of speech, so he'd probably have remembered that. I'm thinking Astro Fighter. It pretty much matches the description, and at the end, you fire at a pod at the top of the screen, and when its destroyed, a pipe comes down from the center of it and refuels your ship. Astro Blaster, after destroying all the waves of enemies, you do dock to refuel, but your ship goes up the screen to it, it doesn't stay at the bottom. Also, for DPtwiz Moon Cresta=Eagle (same game, just with slightly different graphics :) )

Damn, I think thats it. I'll have to check youtube and see if I can find some clips on it. But from the looks of it, thats the one. Thanks!!!
