Talk:Starglider

Staaar-glider

It was common at the time for Rainbird's games to include a tape cassette, with a version of the theme tune produced with studio instruments. I had Starglider 2 and Carrier Command for the Sinclair Spectrum, which came with music tapes (the latter had an actual song, with vocals); I didn't have the original Starglider, however, and so I can't confirm if it had a tape or not. I suspect it didn't, although the 16-bit version of the theme tune sounds as if it was sampled from a studio performance (the Spectrum theme music was very different, although memorably good). The best source I can find doesn't mention a tape, but then again it doesn't mention a tape for Carrier Command or Starglider 2 either. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:28, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I have a near-mint copy of the Spectrum version. No provision for a music tape, but a novella which may be worth mentioning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.70.230.145 (talk) 02:45, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Expansion

More detail on the the game would be welcome, especially the myriad of enemies featured. The eponymous "starglider" is that flapping yellow birdlike thing isn't it? 2fort5r (talk) 16:55, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Clarification tag

I've removed the clarification tag, as the source simply states "Commodore games" with no clarification of whether they're Vic-20, C64 or Amiga. It should be taken that the catch-all term refers to everything in the Commodore stable. Chaheel Riens (talk) 13:23, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
