· HIDDEN MESSAGE: Programmers Gary Stark and Bruce Poehlman admit to putting a few hidden extras in the game, but they don’t recall how to trigger them. One that’s been seen is the Starship Enterprise will sometimes make a brief appearance (by the sun) when recharging. The graphics for it may be at bytes $3a46-3a48.
· This originally started as a game called Orbiter, which was later adapted to be based on the movie, THE LAST STARFIGHTER, and eventually released for the 8-bit computers under the name Star Raiders II. Although a Last Starfighter prototype version exists (pictures #1 - #6), which has a number of differences to SR II (both cosmetic and integral – pictures #7 - #12), the gameplay is essentially the same in both. Some of the major changes are: 3 Star bases have been added in SRII, although you can still refuel by flying to a star; the barrier was removed (picture #9), and 2 planets were renamed - one in each system (pictures #3, #4, #9, and #10).
