Wanted: Star Fire lookalikes

[Cybergoth]

Hi there!

 

While researching about 3D Space shooting games, I found some 30+ available on the C64, but I'm having a hard time to find some for the ol' Ataris.

 

Do you know any of them?

 

So far I found only ports of the "Star Wars" arcade and of course of "Star Fire" itself.

 

Greetings,

Manuel

Yes- Star Riders by Paul Lay, a type-in from Page 6/ New Atari User magazine.

Not technically a space game but what about Paul Woake's Encounter (and another magazine type-in version called Deathzone)? And, of course, Star Raiders, the daddy of the 3D shoot-em ups.

(all games are at http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/atari/ )

Hi Avram!

 

Thanks for sugesting these! I just finished checking them all.

 

The top 5 Atari 8-Bit Star Fire lookalikes so far are:

 

Star Fire

Star Raiders

Star Wars

Star Raiders 2

Star Riders

 

I especially liked the 'firing' animation in Star Raiders. Hm... are there tools available that allow ripping sprite graphics on the 8 bitters?

 

I think I'll continue the research part in the classic forum now...

 

Greetings,

Manuel
