fairly well-behaved galEtxy it had the bad
u i
luck to attract the attention of the Empire.

Casting his eye over the bounty of planets,
a Evil Lord commanded his myriad

minimum of fuss and nasty business. So

they did. Ground under the Evil Lord's heel
n
—well, figuratively speaking anyway — the
g
people of Dark Star sent out distress calls
tin all directions. What Dark Star needed
iwas a hero. What the galaxy got was you.
m Dark Star is a full-colour 3D vector-
graphic shoot-'em-up with a tasty topping
e
of strategy. As pilot of the fairly good ship
a
Liar, you have to fly about the galaxy,
g
liberating passing planets from the Empire.
In

shields if you fly through them. Yellow
squares are warp gates, allowing you to fly
to different sectors of the galaxy.
The most interesting bits, though are the
planets. Flying straight into these as if on a
collision course will take you through the
planetary shields and down onto the
surface. Here you'll encounter increasingly
fierce defences as you race towards the
Evil Lord's ground base. Although
protected by an impenetrable force shield,
a bit of a flaw in the initial design means
this contains a number of holes. A sensible
pilot would be rather strongly advised to fly
through 'ern.
Once you've destroyed the base on a
planet, crank the engines to full speed and
fly straight up. This will allow you to break
through the planetary shield once more
and escape into space. Hurrahl And now—
onto the next planet. Alternatively, if you're
feeling tremendously brave you could try
flying straight into the centre of the galaxy
and attacking the Evil Lord's military
strongholds. This is not recommended for
people who tend to whimper.
Dark Star is bogglingly
fast, magnificently
playable and !coolly
addictive. The whole
game is user-
definable, from the
aggressiveness of the
backlies to the size of the
Evil Lord's Empire. As a
jolly bonus, the game does not
feature materialisations, sprites, unused
RAM, a stupid scenario or magic
rings. And you can't say fairer than a n .
that.
