I actually hate starstrike. So boring. There other space games were better.

This is the only game I ever played on a real Intellivision in the early 80s. Thx for the post.

yeah a comparison would have been Zaxxon for the Atari 2600, however that game was not BY Atari... (also I don't know if Star Strike came out before Zaxxon)

As far as I know, Zaxxon came after. First Zaxxon went into arcade, and then onto home consoles such as Atari VCS and Colecovision.

"Starstrike features our most exciting visual effect: the total destruction of a planet."

LOL, even back then they were overly obsessed with "visual effects"... It's about gameplay, folks! Look at Tetris, one of the most popular games, but it only needs the most rudimentary graphics.

I played both these games back in the day and I thought Star Strike sucked and Asteroids is still fun to play to this day thus it stood the tests of time well. (Throws egg on George Plimpton's face! :p)
