Space Battle is a play-by-mail game published by Flying Buffalo beginning in 1980, played by two teams of ten players each. One player on each team commands a base ship with three battleships, while other players each control a cruiser and three scouts, with victory going to whichever team destroys the opponent's base ship. Reviewer Sam Moorer wrote that the game lacked the balance and fascination of similar Flying Buffalo titles like StarWeb and Battle Plan, and a 1983 review in PBM Universal similarly found it failed to generate sustained player interest.
