Any other games like this

Recommended Posts

You know in the star wars game when you have to fly in the death star and you are in between the two walls ? Are there any other games that have something similar ? i think the intelivision had a game but cant remember it.

Star Strike. Searching for games that feature lethal walls within the trench (as in Star Wars:TAG), or just games that feature a trench? On the latter, I think that arcade game Starhawk (Cinematronics) was the first direct ripoff of the Death Star trench. Trivia sidenote: when programming Star Raiders for Atari computers, Doug Neubauer originally wanted to feature some kind of trench run in his game, but didn't have the time or resources to include one. I think that we are all better off because of that.

Star Strike also had a release on the 2600, though I've never played that one. I played the INTV one quite a bit as a kid, the problem is if you miss a target you spend a lot of time sitting there waiting for it to come back around. The graphic effect was cool for the time, not sure how much I'd enjoy it today. Nukey mentioned Star Hawk which also had a Vectrex port. There's also the Buck Rogers game on the Colecovision, there was a 5200 version as well, but no trench as far as I recall, it's just flat.
