Unplug the TV!
Today, I wanted to show you a different side to Starglider as it's something that's not known to many, oddly enough. It supports the ST's crisp Hi-Resolution mode which means a loss of colour and an increase in definition thanks to the 640x400 display. Everything else is exactly the same of course and that means the gameplay remains as is.
I've always loved Starglider as it's a perfect blend of action and strategy. The mouse controls are spot-on and the combination of using both buttons to fire/move is extraordinarily efficient. The sound effects are superb and feel somewhat arcade in their style to me. However, it's the opening music that many remember the most. What can I say? Staaaaaaaarrrrrrgliiiiiderrrrrrr from Rainnnnnnbirrrrrrd (insert echo effect). Pure genius.
