Raystorm90000 #1 Posted June 30, 2020 I know Star Strike isn't the most playable of the classic games, despite its top notch graphics for its time. But i think the concept of a Star Wars inspired Trench run space battle game always has potential to be fun. You could even have a vector like level as a homage to the Star Wars arcade game. Anyone else onboard? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intymike #2 Posted June 30, 2020 Why is it not playable? The controls are great and it has a good pseudo 3D feeling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonlikesINTV #3 Posted June 30, 2020 I wouldn't mind seeing Star Strike 2 with some added features. Not sure how I'd change it, but I always got bored with the gameplay. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr_me #4 Posted June 30, 2020 I find flying a damaged ship frustrating. I'd change it so the ship repairs itself within a few seconds. Otherwise, it's not a bad game at all. I think the Intellivision graphic resolution is too low for vector wireframe graphics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IntyFanMatt #5 Posted June 30, 2020 I've always thought Star Strike strike could be sooooo much better. Great concept, but they forgot to make the gameplay fun and engaging. I always get bored with it, and would much rather play Space Battle or Space Spartans. But I'm not sure how it could be changed and still remain a "trench run" game. Maybe there could be a battle screen that it switches to when enemy fighters arrive, then once you destroy them, it goes back to the Trench view. Not sure. All I know is that is that the gameplay is underwhelming in it's current state. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midnight Rider #9 Posted June 30, 2020 Voice would have added an new dimension to the game. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+wongojack #10 Posted July 1, 2020 There is something enjoyable there, but it's a bottom 10 game for me as is. 3 lives and a chance to get extra lives with a cycle that increases with difficulty with a success (instead of the game freezing and requiring you to reset) would all be improvements.

DJC #11 Posted July 7, 2020 I'm totally down for a star strike 2 or a reimagined version.. I bet the amico version would look cool. I sure hope we get some more game sneak peeks this month!! Maybe a shifty eyed dealer? Maybe a baseball announcement or a burgertime teaser?? One can only hope -chuck- 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
