i remember this game to be very 2d for a 3d shooter

You probably meant "destruction" on the home page news section?

no this game is very 2 day in the sence of thinking. Its like all action is on a 2d plate in space while the rest of space is empty.

My C64-Version had 16 colors. IBM Compatibles were anything but gaming machines in this era.

That's because its set on a planet's surface, not in space

I played this on my Speccy - great game The review is wrong to suggest you pilot the Starglider - thats the command ship of the enemy which you need to destroy with missiles (which you collect from the silo's - the rotating wedge-shaped objects). The 128k Spectrum version had synthesised speech from your on-board computer as well.

Isn't there a movie based on this game? I remember watching a movie when I was young, some arcade machines were sent all over the galaxy and one of them was sent by mistake on Earth. The "champion" of the arcade was then sent to space to be trained as a real cadet, and the Earth "champion" ended up the one who saved the galaxy against all odds...

I think it was called the Navigator... The only scene I can really remember from that movie is that the spcacraft the boy was in stoped, for the boy to take a piss... and then later on when they hid under water the boy said to the computer: "I hope you don't leak." and the computer (remembering how the boy was passing water) said: "I don't leak, you do!"

But I'm not sure it was based on this very game (it might have been this one though).

Eagle, I think you mean 'The Last Starfighter'

Seb, you're talking about 'Flight of the Navigator'

Neither film has anything to do with this game though.

HTH, HAND :bye:

Uh, the above comment was by me
