I think it's just that Activision's Starmaster was '82, and I knew that was based on Star Raiders). Didn't even know there WAS an Atari 8-bit version.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264881409789872629.post-44841721014714010132019-02-25T21:07:36.531-05:002019-02-25T21:07:36.531-05:00Wow, so it was.

It's a dead ringer for Star Trek, alright, and I'm impressed that they made any amount of that game work on a VCS and its one-button controller. I may cover this when I do Star Raiders.Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131989140638867919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264881409789872629.post-51542746976510474322019-02-25T00:01:24.118-05:002019-02-25T00:01:24.118-05:00You didn't mention having it on your master li...You didn't mention having it on your master list, but if you're playing Star Trek as a lead-up to Star Raiders, I'd strongly recommend playing Atari's 2600 game Stellar Track from 1980 between the two. This was Atari's first attempt at remaking/porting Star Trek to their system, and missing out on it would leave it as this sort of missing link between the two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
