Really need a LAST STARFIGHTER Manual!

[strangedogs]

Seems like a great game but without a manual I'm DOOMED... Anyone help?

[Tempest]

It's not a manual, but I have some info on how the game is played on my site:

Tempest

[VideoFever1982]

Where could i find a copy of this game?

[strangedogs]

Just realized after studying your Prototype page Tempest that it's a Proto... DUH! Good info though - it'll help - seems a shame it was never released... course it seems a shame the 5200 was buried the same year.

 

Also VideoFever1982 - go here:

at the top under the 5200 avatar click the little PACMAN looking icon to download the ROM.

Here's some 8-bit documentation:

 

DOCUMENTATION FOR

THE LAST STARFIGHTER

 

COURTESY OF THE LEPPARD

 

 

After the title screen you start out in your starfighter orbiting

the planet rylos. Your mission is to destroy all of the Ko-Dan

squadrons while keeping them from breaking through the frontier and

destroying your cities. Your starfighter has many important

instruments. In the center of you panel is your scanner for locating

enemy ships and enemy bases. Directly to the left of your scanner are

two vertical bars which are your laser heat indicators. If your lasers

overheat from extended use they will not function properly. Just stop

firing for a couple seconds and they will cool down quickly. To the

left of those are two boxes which mean nothing. Above those though is

your energy bar. When you become low on energy an alert will sound and

you will have to go to the sun to recharge your batteries. Also go to

the sun if you need repairs or more bombs. To the left of the boxes are

two vertical rows of dots which indicate your amount of bombs remaining.

To the left of these are three boxes that light up. These tell you

which weapon you are currently using. The top box corresponds to

lasers, the middle to torpedoes, and the bottom for bombs. All the

instruments to the right of your scanner mean nothing.

At the start of the game your barrier around the solar system will

be attacked. You must press the space bar to see your galactic map.

Look for a blinking square on the outermost ring. Set your course and

warp there by pressing the button. Quickly shoot the ships that are

breaking in. If they do break in, destroy them before they can attack

the planets or else they will have a chance to destroy your cities.

After you have the situation in control, you must destroy their

bases so they cannot send anymore squadrons. Go to the galactic map and

plot a course for their solar system which is in the top left corner.

You will need to use your bombs to destroy their bases. To change to

bombs hit any of the console keys (START, SELECT, OPTION). In the

squadrons there are fighters and destroyers. The computer will change

between the weapons needed (LASERS OR TORPEDOS) automatically.

Use the ESC key to pause the game and press START and SELECT

simultaneously to start over.

When you have defeated the entire armada you won! GOOD LUCK!

if you can find a manual for star raiders 2 for the atari 8-bit, there is a LOT in common (star raiders 2 is really just last star fighter, slightly changed.)

[Lord Thag]

Anyone selling this on cart? I love this game. Used to play it on my 800.

[rayik]

Strangedogs, I own the 8 bit Star Raiders 2 game.

 

I've scanned the manual and attached it. It's just a quick .jpeg scan. You can rotate it and it is very clear.

 

Due to 2 MB limitation per file, I've had to attach it as two seperate zip files.

 

Enjoy the game.

EDIT

 

As pointed out below, 2 pages were missing from the original post. I've scanned those 2 pages and attached as part 3.

Thanks for the scan... much appreciated. Did you scan pages 10 & 11? They weren't included here.

[rayik]

Sorry about not including pages 10 + 11. I've scanned them and uploaded them to my post above. (Those pages are part 3.)

Thanks for the last 2 pages. I have separated, rotated, cleaned up, and PDF'ed for convenience.

A Last Starfighter repro just sold on ebay, thought I'd post the picture. Curious that they didn't use the traditional movie poster of Lance Guest?

[vectormatt]

The links for the Last Starfighter manual are now old and broken. Can anyone repost them?

Also was there ever an Atari 5200 conversion done for Star Raiders II?
