Starfox (1987 video game): Difference between revisions

'''''Starfox''''' is a [[video game]] published by [[Ariolasoft]] on their Reaktor label in 1987 for the [[ZX Spectrum]], [[Commodore 64]], and [[Amstrad CPC]]. The player assumes the role of Hawkins, a [[List of fictional spacecraft#Space fighters|space fighter]] pilot charged with protecting the Hyturian [[star system]] from invading alien forces. The game uses wireframe and shaded [[vector graphics]] to depict combat, in a similar fashion to games such as ''[[Elite (video game)|Elite]]'' and ''Starstrike 2'', which was also created by Realtime Games. Ariolasoft had previously published the [[Electronic Arts]] titles ''[[Skyfox (1984 video game)|Skyfox]]'' and ''[[Arcticfox]]'' and the name was chosen to build on the success of those titles. The US Commodore 64 release was titled ''The Rubicon Alliance''.
