What retro space shooting PC game featured 1-on-1 versus?

Question

I'm trying to find an old retro game I loved, which featured two enemy spaceships, very minimally rendered that shoot laser and photons at each other. The player also had to contend with other things like gravity, warp drive, etc. This was a very simple game,black and white, kind of like Pong, in a way.

Answer

That's not much to go on, but one possibility is Space Wars. This is an old arcade game, so there have been a number of remakes, and you might have played any number of them on a PC or Mac.

This was a huge step up from Pong.
