  • Just happened upon this. You can see someone playing Star Blazer on an Apple II in the first 10 seconds of the music video for "Take Me Away" by Blue Oyster Cult! The song came out in 1983.

  • Used to play this all the time...What the heck were those rectangle things on the ground? It looked like a fence or something...haha

  • @SPCB25

    I always thought those were houses.

  • You are horrible at this game! It took you forever to kill the tank.

  • @ptdnet

    Uh, I never killed the tank in this video. The point was not whether I was hot stuff at it, but just to show the game a little bit. If you want to show all the levels, you can post your own video.

  • This was constantly played on my Apple 2e, in 1983.

    The trick to the tank level is to go up in the air in front of him, then drop down as fast as you can, pounding on the fire button all the way down. It will usually spit out a bomb that the tank wont have time to dodge.

  • The thing that's really challenging about the maneuver is you have to get up high enough to make the drop, and at the same time you have to try to dodge the ships flying at you!

  • Played this after school in the computer room in 1981 or 82. Literally the computer because there was only one Apple IIe in there. I remember the teacher pulled the floppy disk out in a rage (maybe the earliest computer rage in a school?) and ruined all the classes work.

  • Hmmm, I see I'm not the only one who had a hard time with that $*#& bloody tank! I always wondered what Suzuki was smoking when he came up with a tank that could outrun your jet! Now that's a RealLife[tm] engineering challenge!

    My all time fave Apple ][ classic!

  • OMG I used to play this an Miner 2049er constantly. Could never beat either of them though!

  • My fav game all-time! Use to play this for hours on the Apple II on a monochrome monitor.
