Issue 1 (Nov 1985) (Amtix)   15th Jun 2016 04:16
The galaxy is under the tyrannical rule of the Evil Lord. In your ship, Ihe LIAR, you must try and free every thing from his evil domination. In many respects, except for the fact that its concept predates it. Dark Star resembles the arcade original 'Star Wars'.
The LIAR is a highly sophisticated ship. Its weaponry is or the fixed mount type which is aimed by manoeuvering the ship. The LIAR's battle computer genorates a real time display that shows what is happening in your immediate vicinity. Enemy ships fire at you by prediction, should you keep the same course for too long.
There are 3 main parts to the game: Space. Hyperspace and Planets. In Space you fight enemy ships and navigate through the galaxy Hyper-space - when you travel to the other Side of the galaxy, you must fly through one of the sets of gales in a sector. You will then be flying down a rectangular tunnel do not stray from this or you will lose some of your energy and could eventually die (after a while you will reach the end of the tunnel and be back in space). Planets - just fly 'into' a planet and you find yourself skimming it's surface Here you must destroy the planet's bases to liberate it from the enemy.

Though not easy to control. Dark Star is very easy to get into and soon becomes addictive. The 30 vector
graphics are only really above average but they are so fast that you don't see them on screen for long. One of the novelties of Dark Star is its famously humourous hall of fame which changes most times you load the game. A very high speed shoot em up, but not quite as good as their other release, Tank Busters
