Star Raiders is a title that made history back when it was released in 1979. Unfortunately, this remake in 2011 doesn’t lend itself well to modern times. The most depressing thing about the title is that there is truly a lot of potential here. Spaceship fighting simulators on current-gen consoles can most likely be counted on one hand and with Star Raiders multi-mode ship combat it could have created a great title. But instead it became something that is extremely bland that has little challenge outside of its control scheme and reading the text.
Over the years though, many people have come to regard the Atari ST as a poor man’s Amiga and ignore its many advantages. In this list we show you ten of the Atari ST’s very best exclusives. Not just games that didn’t come out for its arch nemesis, but never came out for any other systems full stop!
The ST sold extremely well, was the best selling computer in Europe for several years running.
Oh yeah? I just remember it here in the states doing nothing. Everyone I knew definitely went with the Amiga.

GB: "Reboots of classic games seem to do fairly well for XBLA and PSN; retro fans get a trip down memory lane while the uninitiated get to see what all the fuss is about with the benefit of HD graphics and updated sound. Some three decades after its first appearance, the classic Atari title Star Raiders is the latest blast from the past. "
The original Star Raiders was released in 1979 for the Atari 400 \ 800 8-bit computers. How does this remake hold up?
