    AtariSphinx got a reaction from DegasElite in Was Star Raiders a Good Game?   
    On the 2600 it  captures the spirt of the computer version.  I think Starmaster is a better game but I come back to this one because of the touchpad which makes it feel like I am in the bridge of a space ship.
    On the Atari computer though Star Raiders is flat out amazing.   I had it as a kid and had no clue how to play it since I got a free copy from my friends dad at Atari and did not have a manual.  Recently played it and was blown away.  I am getting better every time but far from mastering it.  The strategy of managing your shields, energy, computer and the shooting is great.  One of the best games on the Atari computers.   It is also a unique experience vs anything else.

    Finally broke 200!  Definitely know how to get strikes more often after many practice runs; just need a good run to improve on this.

    Many times you can repair them by cleaning or replace the rubber stick.  Interestingly enough the stick is just a tire stem (the part that sticks out of your car tire to inflate it).  You can pick one up any auto store.  Sometimes the contact wears out.
