Sinistar is one of those ‘golden oldies’ that folks get all misty-eyed when they think back to playing it in the arcades. It’s a space shooting game where you fly through space (duh) and have to destroy the evil Sinistar, which is essentially a giant robot face. You have to mine asteroids for materials that you use to create bombs (which are the only way to destroy the Sinistar), while two kinds of ships stymie your progress. One kind is the standard Warrior class that just runs around shooting you, and the other is a Worker class who also need your precious crystals to build the Sinistar.
I guess it’s kind of cool that the game talks. The thing did come out in 1982, so that was likely pretty novel. But I found this game to be extremely boring. I suppose that if I tried it a few more times I might start to learn the intricacies of the or some such. But after burning a few virtual credits on this game I decided to try and find something more fun to do.
