The Last Starfighter

[haqzombie]

This game is bad ass! I couldn't get used to the controls using a laptop keyboard, but I will!

[Arcadehype]

Yolanda baby! lol

[penske13]

[doomsday440]

[He101A]

This game was ahead of its time.

[coolastro]

This is really cool cool game the read text file is in C: program files in folder RogueSynapse to get Death Blossom active just press 0 and select it in the menu simple

[MorreskiBear]

Where's the Death Blossom?

[n1663r]

[Mglosk]

If this is real, it's cool!

[TheGrizster]

[BClay74]

Watch this video while playing the Last Starfighter theme song.

Search: The Last Starfighter - 01 - Main Title

Yay!

[KaitainCPS]

This game is brutally, brutally hard. I tried it for around an hour but gave up.

[Doommaster1994]

@KaitainCPS You think this version's hard? Try the NES version, it makes this one look like cake.

[KaitainCPS]

@Doommaster1994

The NES version is just a slightly tweaked version of Andrew Braybrook's "Uridium" for the C64. They licenced it and changed a few of the graphics.

[Doommaster1994]

@KaitainCPS Oh I know. To me it's probably the hardest game I've ever played.

[TheGrizster]

@KaitainCPS were you able to actuly play this i downloaded installed and all it dose is say insert coin.how do you control it. just in case talking about the last starfighter game

[KaitainCPS]

@TheGrizster

I think it says in the readme file. Might be one of the F-keys to start, something like that...?

[manofsan]

do they have this for iPhone yet?

[Spetznaz]

youre not going to be recruited as the last starfighter for sure

[psiXoniK]

This is basicly Starblade isn't it... before it went Alpha X-D

[hivelocity100]

Damn that song still sticks in my mind over two decades later

[9esferas1]

A developer version was dump few months ago and its playable on MAME

[DevilMaster]

@9esferas1 Where can you download it from?

[starsiegeplayer]

Game looks tough.

[Credithelper75]

Ancalites....LMAO!! ;-D

[MechanizedFantasy]

Loved the references on the high score list.

[Aida82c]

Dude, Alex Rogan owns you.... He could do 548,000 while getting a BJ from his Beta Unit.

[ZeetherKID77]

I played this and enjoyed it but the screen kept flashing white randomly which kind of distracted me...is it because of Windows 7 or is this to recreate something from the movie?

[MrVodkaking]

great movie

[sipioc]

Where can I play this?

[killtroy811]

@sipioc rougesynapse has a downloadable version apparently.

[ancalites]

I played this game and later on a guy turned up in a futuristic car and told me he was the representative for some interstellar star empire, and that the game was actually an elaborate way of scouting out new elite pilots for their starfighter corps. Awesome!

So I get in his space car hoping to embark on a life-changing adventure as I trained to battle hordes of ruthless aliens across the starry cosmos.

That was when he pulled a knife on me and told me to take off all my clothes. :(

[killtroy811]

@ancalites LMFAO!!!

[Ropponmatsu2]

@ancalites

It's the final test....If you want ahead in this galaxy. You've got to be prepared to give it....

[krashly71]

@ancalites sorry about that I tend to frequent trailer parks looking for kids who fall for this. I tell them I am Rylos, get them all excited, they get in my delorien with a few mods and before you can say Zandozan I give them my Xenon Mist....sorry but its just so easy to find guys as dumb as Alex.

[batfly]

@ancalites

You wish that is how it went down.

[Aaroneus76]

@ancalites OMG LMFAO : p

[DetroitLove4U]

@ancalites Well, you don't expect to be a Starfighter wearing your sweats and an Oakland A'a baseball cap do you? He told you right to take off your clothes. I would trade mine in for full Starfighter regalia. Looks like the game played you into a nightmare that you made come true in your head. Xur's mindtrap on the game certainly worked well on you as you seemingly were thwarted in becoming a Starfighter!!! With gas prices increasing - I'm darn well glad I have a GunStar!!!

[Fymious]

@ancalites Are you serious?

[shairaptor]

Just play Namco's Starblade... it's almost the same game :)

[SpaRtanl33tz]

heh

[captinbloodloss]

I finally broke Alex's record!!! WOO HOO! It wasn't easy.

[losthaze]

"I'm out of coins what do we do?!"

"We Die!"

[MercifulRevan]

Gee, wonder who A. R. is?

Who would have the two highest ranking scores?

hmmmm...

[edgeninja]

Fuckin A! Even has Robert Preston's voice!

[EpsilonEagle123]

This was a really cool game! I have to give props to Rogue Synapse for making the game so accurate to the one shown in the movie. Hell, it even has the same sound effects! I'd love to play this on an actual arcade machine like the one in the movie, but for the time being my Sega Saturn USB pad will have to suffice.

[pgraphics]

@EpsilonEagle123 Every The Last Starfighter fan would like to put their hands on the actual arcade. However, Atari, the developer of the game, didn't take it beyond the prototype stage.

[SaviourV]

Still a long way before anyone knocks Alex off the top spot. I recognize those initials...^_^;

[LordBicen]

Man thats pimp! i remember as a kid wanting to play this game something fierce, only to be let down when i found out it was never released. Nice to see someone decided to do what atari would not.

[millenniumfalsehood]

This is a fun game, but people playing it need to know that a joystick, while not required is a must for this game!

[anaemic]

There's a lot of retarded comments on youtube, but this one, is extra retarded.

[millenniumfalsehood]

Real intelligent comment, there.

[DevilMaster]

IMO it's better with a mouse.

[millenniumfalsehood]

I was referring more to the in-movie look'n'feel. The mouse is indeed better, but with the joystick you can try out the way Alex played the game.

[TS9321]

Im ready to go!!!!!! Pick me up..I've been waiting for 12 years now...Im ready to go battle!!!!!!!!!

[Dorchagraine]

It doesnt work for vista 64 bit, dam... Why does that always happen to me, im a retro gamer by heart, and this peice of shit vista wont run any of my fave games... S o b on bill for that one..

[xXRoBeRtXHaYdNXx]

just run the "johnny" version of xp. it's the same as vista except it WORKS! and it plays TLS i downloaded it like 4 days ago.

[TheCastellan]

Hell, it's hard playing DOOM on XP.

[alucard624]

Just wait till Windows 7 at the end of October. It should run with no problem then. Windows 7 is being touted as what Vista SHOULD have been in the first place and so far from what I have been hearing it works really well.

[TheCastellan]

@alucard624

Windows Vista, aka "Windows Ctrl, Alt, Delete" :P

[Credithelper75]

This is so coo1 Ah the 80's, I miss them so. ;-(

[fatcat198]

Is there a patch for vista users?

[fatcat198]

I downloaded the game but it didnt work. It said a file was missing & RogueSynapse dose not have the missing file where can i find it?

[DevilMaster]

You can just google the name of that file and you will find it. Insert it in the same directory as the game executable.

[alucard624]

I just downloaded it just now and they mention on the site that you need a dll file from microsofts website to run it. The specific file is d3drm.dll. Just google it and you should be able to download it.  Just remember to place it into the executable file for the game itself and you should be good to go. I know it works because I got it to work shortly after downloading the file.

[sbcmarine81]

This would be a cool game to play. It would be even cooler if Atari came up with a Starfighter game with the graphics of some of todays games.

[Trek001]

This is exactly what was in the movie - And Atari DID make the game for its machines back in the 80's, it just never got released.

But while watching this vid, i was half expecting it to cit to the various people watching alex (and the theme tune cutting in)!

[lurkerrekrul]

Atari made *A* game called The Last Starfighter, but it wasn't anything like the game in the film. They did eventually release it as Star Raiders II, with the Last Starfighter elements removed.

[DevilMaster]

Not exactly. That was the Atari 800 and Atari 5200 version. There was also supposed to be an arcade version, that was made but never released because it would cost $10000 per unit and Atari decided it was too expensive. You can see some gameplay from the REAL arcade version here: watch?v=ghjjeZpoKLI

[lurkerrekrul]

You CAN play it! This is a freeware game made by RogueSynapse (do a Google search). They're a group who have decided to create real versions of fictional video games featured in movies. Unfortunately, their projects seem to be stalled at the moment, but The Last Starfighter is fully playable.

[sbcmarine81]

Right after I got this message I did...I'm glad I did, it's a blast! Now I see what Alex went through it's a tough little bugger. Anyway thanks.

[lurkerrekrul]

No problemo! Enjoy. :)

[sbcmarine81]

I've made it to the Ko-Dan Command Ship (last stage) four times (after about dozens of times playing it) and engaged it once.
