In-depth Review: Star Raiders – Electronic Theatre

A pioneer for it’s time, the original Star Raiders simply placed a crosshair on the screen and draw pixel based enemies for the player to shoot at. Though visually simplistic, Star Raiders did offer a number of unique features, such as the ability to dock at a friendly space station for supplies and a grid-like map to chart the player’s progress.
