Starfighter is a video game published by Aardvark Technical Services in 1979 for Ohio Scientific computers. Three versions of the game were sold so they could work on a range of OSI hardware: Starfighter 540, Starfighter 600, and Starfighter Alphabetics.[1] It was ported to the TRS-80 and TRS-80 Color Computer.

Plot[]

Starfighter is a game in which the player takes command of a starfighter in the Alpha Centauri system, and is challenged by starfighters, battleships, cruisers, and supercruisers.[2]

Reception[]

Bruce Campbell reviewed Starfighter in The Space Gamer No. 61.[2] Campbell commented that "While I have enjoyed playing Starfighter, I refuse to recommend a program that so badly needed additional debugging."[2]
