jquarry: I created this article mostly from memory, but I think the facts are all correct, since Starmaster has stuck firm in my memory for 23-odd years. IIRC there was even a mugshot Alan Miller in the manual! Probably to make up for his crap treatment at Atari, where programmers couldn't get credit for their work. But to tell the truth I never owned this game; in fact I never even owned a 2600! However my best friend did, and given that he lived just across the road from my house (in Barraba, NSW, Australia) I spent many hours playing with his Atari. Starmaster without a doubt was my favourite game. I was deathly disappointed that a comparable game was never made for the VIC-20 (which I did own).

Untitled

I am a full Starmaster. I still have a picture of my screen that proves so. It was damn near impossible to get the Starmaster status. I really appreciate you having documented one of the best games ever made, jquarry. Thanks for that blast of the past ;)

Re-write

I gave this article a re-write. I know there was some specific advanced detail in the gameplay, but I could not find specific sources backing it up. I've added some production and release and reception info which I believe makes the article better. Andrzejbanas (talk) 10:33, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
