    i wish there was some way to anticipate those targets aside from the audio clue... if that thing goes, you're basically flying blind. Unless... do the targets always come at the same time interval? Maybe we could try to keep a mental note of how much time has elapsed since the last target.

     

    EDIT: Not that this would be a "fun" way to play, but...

    That’s the part that I hate about this game. 
     

    I notice that when I compete my tasks sooner, I wait and wait for the target to come... the game is trying to reduce my score. If I complete my tasks slowly, the target comes immediately. 
     

    if you throw 100 m&m’s into the air and try to catch them in a hat.... that’s Star Strike.

     

    it’s 50% skill and 50% luck.

    Do you guys try to fly as low as possible to the trench when the targets are about to appear? That's the only way I can get the timing right to hit those things. And if my early warning system goes down, that's an insta-reset for me.

    Absolutely, YES!!! When I think the skeet target is coming, I hover on that kite handle like a chicken on an egg. 50% chance I hit it and I have to reset... but the closer the better... YES!!!

    Its 1981... it aint that heinous ! Just kinda plain average, didn't age as well as like Shark Shark, or Space Battle. :o

     

    What Strike could use though, is like a force field like Zaxxon, to weave around or above, under etc... and on the top 2 skills, an alien to shoot at the end of the trench to save Earth from the despair. :D

    Ok I was extra critical ... it was an ok game. Just a little too simple.  There’s worse games in the collection! Nice clear graphics.

    I guess it’s my turn to comment on Star Strike: 

     

    Too simplistic compared to the rest of the collection. it should have been part of a triple Space action cart with two other simple Space games. 
     

    the ships always looked more like balloons on strings Or kites. The pink dash Under the ship is like the handle on a kite and your ship is a 2-D kite that never moves. The enemy ships appear like balloons in the Macy’s parade.... 
     

    it should be Kite strike. 
     

    then the shooter..... Little pink squares?  if your ship is that wimpy ... maybe send a better equipped ship to save planet earth .... no? 
     

    apart from that, great game!
