Whats your opinion on Space Attack?

[flammingcowz]

I have had the game Space Attack for a while without knowing how to play it. After reading the manual here on AA, and beating it, I don't really see much left to this game. Just wanted to know what you guys thought of it.

I actually just recently got that game myself and have yet to play it. I'll try and fire it up tomorrow and compare notes with you.

Did you play it on hard? It's much more fun. It's a little known fact that this was orinally supposed to be a Battlestar Galactica game too.

 

IT's fun in short bursts. I had it back in the day. Played it fairly often too.

I like it despite only having the NTSC copy over here in PAL land so the colours are wrong(made deciphering the manual more difficult:)).

It's different enough from the other Star Raiders clones to be worth a play. IMHO better than Atari's Star Raiders & Imagic's Star Voyager but inferior to Phaser Patrol & Starmaster. But I like Star Ship so what would I know??

Pretty much agree with the consensus: It's fun in short bursts, but you can play it, beat it, and then forget about it for a year or so until you get the urge to run through it again. Starmaster is far its superior. Not bad, though.

It's not a bad game. The original on the Intellivision is better though and more suited to the more complex controller. It's too bad it wasn't released as a Battlestar Galactica game. It would've made it more popular. At least they left the enemy ship as Cylon Raiders anyway. I always enjoyed that.
