Star Blazer is a horizontally scrolling shooter programmed by Tony Suzuki for the Apple II and published by Broderbund Software in 1982.[1] An Atari 8-bit family version was released in 1983 as Sky Blazer.[2]
Star Blazer is a game in which the player is the Star Blazer, fighting back against the oppressive Bungeling Empire.[3]
Barry Gittleman reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "The game is enjoyable for almost all gaming types. The only disappointment is the sudden ending after that terrific build-up. Star-Blazer must be seen to be truly appreciated."[3]
