Dark Star

In Dark Star, you pilot the LIAR spacecraft through the galaxy, attempting to liberate it by destroying the Evil Lord’s main bases. The game has similarities to the Star Wars arcade game and uses fast, full-colour vector graphics.

Survival depends on accurate flight through hyperspace tunnels and constant movement to avoid enemy fire. You can destroy enemy spaceports and planetary bases while collecting energy dumps needed to reach all 256 sectors.

Almost all controls can be redefined, and the enemy’s speed and power are adjustable. Developed by Design Design and published by Firebird Software, Dark Star was released for Amstrad CPC, Dragon 32/64, TRS-80 Color Computer, and ZX Spectrum.
