Spacewar!
This is a reimagination of one of the first video games of all time: 'Spacewar!'. This has most of the original mechanics as far as I could find. It also has the circular screen the original would be played on. I did take a lot of liberties with the graphics, visually they're not that similar.
There's two ships, move one with "wasd", the other with "ijkl". Both ships can orbit the star in the center, but if they get too close they'll get sucked in.

If you're interested in the original, I highly recommend finding the wikipedia article on it and reading that.
