accousticguitar Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I've been trying to play Star Raiders and I think I have most of it figured out, but I don't know how to dock to make repairs and get fuel. I can't even figure out where the base station is. I looked on Atarimania but the pictures for the instructions are not linked correctly and I couldn't find them anywhere else for the Atari computer. 2600 instructions are all over the place.

Trooper Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 The manual is online at Atarimania if you search for Star Raiders you will find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accousticguitar Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 I finally was able to establish orbit. It's not exactly intuitive, is it? Nevertheless, Star Raiders is a great game. That Doug Neubauer really knew his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmel_andrews Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Just don't blast anything that looks like a base station and blast anything that looks like a zylon tie fighter (and avoid getting hit by asteroids or the shots coming from the tie fighters)...Simple instructions...nothing too complicated...Mind you, I havent played the game in ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Mo Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Basically, the instructions cover it, but there are several minds on the best way to play the game. My advice, don't use the engines unless you have to (speed 0). Most of the time the Zylons come to you. If they don't you can always pursue with the engines. If they run like crazy and you can't catch them, hyperspace back into the same sector. The number of ships remains the same, but what they are and their behavior often changes. The instructions give you one major piece of bad advice: telling you to put an enemy ship in the crosshairs to get a target lock and hit them with both barrels at once. Great, except that makes it nearly impossible to duck their shot if they take a pot-shot at you. I swing my ship and puit the basestars right in front of a torpedo tube and just hammer them til they go boom.
