Me and my brother got one of these as a joint Xmas present, it came with a free game- Combat!
I loved playing Space Invaders, Frogger, Empire Strikes Back, there was also a space game where you had to input coordinates into a gadget to then hyperspace jump and fight other space ships, can’t remember what it was called but it was great!
It’s still at my parents house in the original box…
I had that on the Atari 400 without any instructions. It took me forever how to refuel. Also, I later found out this weird game I remember playing was Conway’s Game of Life and its significance way later in life.

You mean Star Raiders? I have that and the official control pad.
Yes that could be it! I just remember it being amazing and futuristic pressing the buttons and zipping through hyperspace
I can also remember being very disappointed that the Atari packaging art never reflected the game graphics lol (I was young)
