	Star Raiders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Star Raiders was packaged in a ROM cartridge, which was the prevalent distribution medium for Atari 8-bit games of the time.
		Star Raiders' sounds of engines, shots, explosions, alarms, etc. were synthesized directly using the Atari POKEY sound chip's capabilities (author Doug Neubauer had been involved in the design of POKEY).
		Star Raiders II was originally The Last Starfighter, a licensed tie-in for the movie The Last Starfighter, written for the 8-bit Atari line.

		Although Star Raiders looks complex at first glance, much of the game is pretty much common sense (turn on your shield, bring up the map, hyperwarp to the desired sector, etc).
		Star Bases appear in several sectors of the map, and are prime targets for Zylon forces.
		Star Raiders proves that even games that were keyboard dependant could easily be ported to the 5200.

	AGH 5200 Review -- Star Raiders
		Star Raiders utilizes every button on the numeric keypad in addition to the bottom fire buttons.
		In my opinion, the gameplay in Star Raiders is so rich, and the sparse graphics and sound effects create the mood of lonely, desolate space so well, that it's possible for kids to make up such an elaborate supplement to the game.
		Star Raiders is stripped virtually bare in the graphics department, yet shines nonetheless.

		Star Raiders was also released for the 2600 (author unknown) and many clones were attempted.
		Some other games were borne under the "Star Raiders" title: Star Raiders 2 (Atari, 1986?) also for the Atari 8-bit computer, and "Star Raiders" for the Atari ST computer.
		Star Raiders 2 was going to be released as "The Last Starfighter," named after the motion picture.

		Star Raider is best described as a blend of Star Wars and Star Trek.
		In Star Raiders the galaxy is actually a large 4x4 grid separated into 8 sectors.
		While it may not have had all the glitz and glamour of the original 8-bit version, the 2600 version of Star Raiders is a solid port.

	The Atari Times - 5200 - Star Raiders Review
		It was that glorious achievement that has garnered Star Raiders to be one of the greatest games of all time as well as creating it's own genre: The 3D space action game.
		Stars zip past relative to the speed you are traveling.
		When Star Raiders was originally released in the early 80's it was a truly incredible experience.

	Star Raiders
		It was similar to Star Radiers in some ways, but it was an isometric game instead of 3D, and took place in a much bigger universe with a more grandious mission to complete as you attempt to find the planet of Solaris.
		Stars moved past your ship as if you were sitting on the bridge of the Enterprise looking at the viewscreen.
		Star Trek was OK for its day I suppose, but let's face it, the fun of it was that it was on a computer.

	Star Voyager 2600 - Digital Press Online
		Star Voyager seems to have more in common with games like Air Sea Battle or Atlantis as your weapons fire will destroy anything in its path on their way to the targeting sights rather than what's actually targeted.
		With other titles released you had star bases to defend, debris to avoid, debilitating damage to deal with and more to make those games almost feel as though you are flying through space.
		Visually this game is average compared to Star Voyager but does have the edge compared to the flicker-fest that is Star Raiders (though in Raider's defense there are more enemies, more screens and more stuff going on so that could be just hardware limitations at the time).

		The Raiders took nearly three minutes to get on the board, but once Whitney Knudsen scored off a reverse layup with 5:02 left, the layup became the shot of the day for Loudoun County.
		The Raiders were everywhere with hustle, converging to trap ballhandlers, and stepping in passing lanes for more steals.
		Then after the Raiders had their third multiple-point run of the game by scoring the first 11 points of the fourth period to open a 54-18 lead, Handley again forced Loudoun County ballhandlers into indecision.

	Games Department: Star Raiders Academy
		The game of Star Raiders was conceived and implemented at Atari by Dave Neubauer, who also designed the POKEY chip.
		When the technical and marketing people at Atari saw Star Raiders in action for the first time, they knew it was a winner, and took great pride in being able to present the game to the public.
		Star Raiders is a conceptually sophisticated game, involving timing, strategy, and three-dimensional geometry as well as the usual aiming accuracy and quick reflexes characteristic of most arcade and video games.

	stinkygoat: History of Llamasoft part 12
		However I never forgot about Star Raiders, and every now and again I'd see it referred to in the gaming press, and the verdict was always the same: Star Raiders was the best game, ever, on any system, in the whole universe, for ever and ever, amen.
		I must have read the manual for Star Raiders fifty times on the bus home; by the time I got there I already knew that F was for forward view and G was for galactic map and L for long-range scanners and H for hyperspace...
		Star Raiders was, is, one of the best games ever made on any system, anywhere, ever, in the entire universe, for ever and ever, amen.

		The article was intended for use with the Atari 400/800 version of Star Raiders(which is referred to as Star Raider in the article for some reason).
		Since the Atari 5200 version of Star Raiders is just a cartridge version of the Atari 400/800 version, this article is perfectly applicable.
		This article is directed toward those of you who have mastered the easier levels of the game, who thoroughly understand Atari's Star Raider Users Manual, and are ready to attempt more hazardous adventures.

	The Winchester Star-Raiders Scorch Judges (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The lightning-quick Raiders swarmed all over the Judges from the outset, scoring the game’s first 19 points and pocketing 23 first-half steals en route to a 64-32 victory Tuesday night at Handley High School.
		Providing most of the defensive pressure for the defending district champion Raiders was the experienced backcourt trio of senior Marie Bolton and juniors Stacy James and Tara Kidwell.
		Inexplicably, it was the Judges and not the Raiders, with nearly everyone back from last year’s Region II finalist team, who entered the game ranked No. 4 in The Associated Press’ Group AA state poll.

	ST Reviews: ST Star Raiders, The Animator, Macro Manager
		The principle of Atari's joystick-driven ST Star Raiders may be no different from its illustrious 8-bit predecessor.
		According to the documentation, Star Raiders are the only force in the Atarian Federation strong enough to resist the savage robots, called Zycroids, who are terrorizing the Katsaurii (kATsAuRIi) Quadrant.
		Other than that, the only problem with ST Star Raiders is that since the original 8-bit Star Raiders first appeared, the space shoot-em-up has been done almost to death.

		Touch Pad was included with each Star Raiders cartridge in a king-sized box, along with a plastic overlay detailing the Star Raiders-specific actions that could be triggered.
		Imagic's Star Voyager and Activision's Starmaster, though I wasn't the biggest fan of the latter, did a better job of putting a first-person space shooter on the VCS than Star Raiders did.
		Star Raiders also included a free Atari Force comic book from DC Comics, which, like Atari, was owned by Warner Bros.; surprisingly, there were some real comics legends like Gil Kane working on these freebie giveaway books.

	The Atari Times - Atari-ST - Star Raiders Review
		The game play for the ST version of Star Raiders is not as exciting as other versions of the game.
		Unlike the 2600 version, where you are engaged with very fast, skilled enemy pilots, ST Star Raiders feels more like shooting at orbiting satellites.
		Another aspect of the game play is the ability to use the number keys to control the ship’s speed, as it is necessary to occasionally dock your ship at a star base for recharging and repair.

	Star Trek (text game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Star Trek text game is a classic text-only computer game that originated from the BASIC programming language hacker culture of the 1970s.
		The game, in addition to being tied to the Star Trek subculture that was (and still is) very popular with computer experts and programmers, is in itself a piece of historical hacker lore.
		The format of this game is often credited as being the progenitor of many 1980s outer space themed videogames, of which Atari's Star Raiders is most notable and was itself cloned extensively.

		ou assume the role of a Star Raider, the Earth Federation's most elite fighting unit, defending space stations from the alien Zylons and their variety of space craft.
		This little detail was icing on the cake back when Star Raiders was new, and still brings a smile to my face.
		I think that Star Raiders is an awesome game, full of never-ending strategies and fast, fun space battles, and is overall much more rewarding than SEGA's Star Trek on the 5200.

		I find the 5200 version to be the most playable, followed by the 800 (nearly identical), the 2600, and worst of the lot, the 520ST.

		The star receiver spent plenty of time on the ground early in training camp, giving his teammates an immediate glimpse at how serious he is about helping turn things around in Oakland and proving he’s the best receiver in the NFL.
		The Raiders are 9-23 the last two years after losing to Tampa Bay in the 2003 Super Bowl — the worst two-year record since Davis arrived in 1963 to coach and eventually own the team.

		One of the most impressive and unequaled aspects of "Star Raiders" is that the game is always "live"; everything works no matter what screen is being displayed.
		I guess it was because all the action at the time seemed to be on the 2600.
