"Game Cartridge Last Starfighter 8-bit cartridge for the Atari 800/XL/XE.
This game was never released by Atari.
New label. I found Last Starfighter along with many others unreleased games in desks at Atari after one of their famous layoffs. We are producing this un-released game for others to enjoy. We are selling this as a UN-released cartridge but believe it is complete. The original had no label or case so we have made a label and added a new original Atari made case and backing. The EPROM proto board is original Atari made. This game is identical to the original UN-released game I found at Atari. IT IS NOT THE ACTUAL GAME CARTRIDGE I FOUND AT ATARI but a reproduction of it using original Atari parts!!! No manual or box.

This game was originally planned to be released as "The Last Starfighter" but Atari had to make changes after they decided against a license agreement for LS.

Here is a good Review of the History

THE LAST STARFIGHTER / STAR RAIDERS II VOCABULARY

I - Spaceships

Mainly, there are three types of ships: The Deckfighters which act as the easiest targets (they really are our tie fighters), The Xurian ships too rare in the movie play the destroyer role in the game and protect the final ship, the Command Ship. The names change between the two "versions" so here is a table of conversion if you wish to find the "spirit" of the movie in your game.

THE LAST STARFIGHTER STAR RAIDERS II
Ko-Dan Ships Zylon Ships
1- Deckfighters 1- Zylon Fly Fighters
2- Xurians Ships 2- Destroyers
3- Command Ship 3- Commands Ship
(only one by level, exactly like in the movie) (one by squadrun, 5000 points each)
4- "Little" Command Ships 4- No Equivalent
(those attacking the frontier) (the frontier plot is totally lacking from SR II)
Your Ship: .
- The Gunstar - The Liberty Star

II - Planets

Virtually identical, ATARI had to make a few changes due to to the names copyrighted by the original movie, The Last Starfighter.

THE LAST STARFIGHTER STAR RAIDERS II
Celos IV System .
1- Rylos 1- Teris
2- Galen 2- Imbri
3- Seridus 3- Seridus
4- Arcanum 4- Arcanum
Procyon System .
1- Ko-Dan 1- Zylon
2- Gaon 2- Gaon
3- Morkoth 3- Morkoth

Finally, to all the "raiders" who have never tried The Last Starfighter, I just would like to communicate them their order of mission if someday, they wish to become starfighters: "Greetings Starfighter..... You have been recruited by the starleague to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada." Don't forget that in bonus you'll have a 1984 fantastic intro so don't hesitate: To try it, it's to adopt it! Some will always say that Raiders II is faster but Starfighter is really "the movie in your Atari" so have a wonderful experience. Let me say it a second time: Too bad, they never released it officially!

Newsflash! We now have brand new original mint Atari Released version of Star Raiders II on disk for sale in a separate Ebay(also on our web site) auction.
